Product Description
Product Description
A disturbing expose of the American government's hidden agenda, before and after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. A wide range of documents show US officials knew in advance of the 'Boeing bombing' plot, yet did nothing. Did the attacks fit in with plans for a more aggressive US foreign policy? Nafeez Ahmed examines the evidence, direct and circumstantial, and lays it before the public in chilling detail: how FBI agents who uncovered the hijacking plot were muzzled, how CIA agents trained Al Qaeda members in terror tactics, how the Bush family profited from its business connections to the Bin Ladens, and from the Afghan war. A 'must read' for anyone seeking to understand America's New War on Terror.

Format:Paperback
Contrary to the single poor review here, this book is actually extremely well researched and carefully documents its numerous information sources (hundreds of them). The author's arguments are logical and careful and raise serious questions that need answers.
I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a cold clear dose of truth about events relating to 9/11

A superb book, thoroughly recommended which asks a lot of questions, and gives a lot of answers. This puts September 11th and the "War on Terror" in an even more frightening context. Ever wondered why Bush smirked as he told the world america was under attack? Why military planes were noticeable by their absence? Why the US were planning action in Afghanistan at the beginning of 2001 to take place in October? Why the intelligence agencies saw nothing coming? Read this book.
The most frightening thing is that this is not thw work of a wacky conspiracy theorist - the references are reliable (Guardian, Independent, Times, NY Times, CNN, etc.)
But this book if you want to understand the kind of world we live in.

Format:Paperback
This book is very thoroughly researched! It reads a bit like a detective investigation and is every bit as gripping, using published sources (newspaper, interviews, testimony) to draw the reader beyond the official explanation of 9/11.
Suffice to say, Nafeez's conclusions are even more shocking than the thought of a terrorist net outwitting the CIA, FBI and military of the world's only superpower.
