‘The Looming Tower’ Author Warns Political Division That Led to 9/11 Flourishes Now
Hulu’s new series “The Looming Tower” takes a look at the events that led to the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers — and the divisions between intelligence agencies that enabled it to happen.
Actress Wrenn Schmidt, who plays CIA analyst Diane Marsh on the drama, recently told TheWrap that the show asks the question: “Was history possibly changed because two people didn’t get along with each other?”
Lawrence Wright, the author of the non-fiction book “The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11,” on which the show is based, says the answer to Schmidt’s question is yes.
