Forget about nuclear missiles. The decisive weapon of the twenty-first century is the car bomb.
After Iraq we now know that you can defeat a superpower, start a civil war or just blow up your own government with a trunk load of home-made explosives and a battered old car.
For fifty years we were all told that nuclear weapons were the real threat, but that's a lie. The real terrorist threat has always been the car bomb, crude and unstoppable. From America to the Middle East, to Ireland and Europe it has shaped twentieth century conflict. But until now, the car bombs secret history has never been told. Who invented it, who developed it and who killed with it.
In this startling new 2 x 1 hour mini series, ex-CIA agent Bob Baer, whose life was depicted by George Clooney in the Oscar winning movie ’Syriana’, uncovers the history of this extraordinary weapon.
With shocking footage of car bomb attacks and penetrating interviews with car bombers, Baer reveals how the century of the car turned into the century of the car bomb.
This documentary was produced by MANY RIVERS FILMS and directed by KEVIN TOOLIS. It was first released in 2008.
