Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

A philosopher at the Claremont School of Theology, Griffin scrutinizes the time line and physical evidence of September 11 for unresolved inconsistencies. Griffin draws heavily on three similarly skeptical examinations, by Nafeez Ahmed, Paul Thompson and Thierry Meyssan, whose The Big Lie was a bestseller in France, and which the New Republic has called "thinâ€"and thinly argued." Based on these sources, Griffin maintains that a full investigation of the events of that tragic day is necessary to answer such questions as whether American Airlines Flight 77 did crash into the Pentagon (though many will find it impossible to doubt this) and how United Airlines Flight 93 was downed. He claims that if standard procedures for scrambling fighter jets had been followed, the hijacked planes should have been intercepted in time, and that structurally, the collapse of the World Trade Center towers most likely was caused by explosives placed throughout the towers, not from the plane crashes. He strongly implies that the Bush administration had foreknowledge of the attack and sought to conceal what Griffin suggests was the Pakistani intelligence agency's involvement in the planning for the attacks. His analysis is undergirded by the theory that a significant external threat, on the scale of Pearl Harbor, was very much in the interest of the Bush administration, which he believes is intent on self-interested aggressive foreign policies. Even many Bush opponents will find these charges ridiculous, though conspiracy theorists may be haunted by the suspicion that we know less than we think we do about that fateful day.

Product Description

Taking to heart the idea that those who benefit from a crime ought to be investigated, here the eminent theologian David Ray Griffin sifts through the evidence about the attacks of 9/11 - stories from the mainstream press, reports from abroad, the work of other researchers, and the contradictory words of members of the Bush administration themselves - and finds that, taken together, they cast serious doubt on the official story of that tragic day

5.0 out of 5 stars Valid, urgent questions, Jun 9 2004
By 
Jeffrey W Campbell (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Pearl Harbour (Paperback)
I read a news story today noting that the 911 commission will avoid criticism of anyone in the Bush or Clinton administration to avoid being seen as partisan. The commission isn't looking for real answers then, but is seeking only to validate the official version of the events of 911. David Ray Griffin lucidly lays out reason after reason to doubt this official version. He doesn't claim to know what actually happened, choosing instead to show that the official version is simply not true, cannot be true. Instead of claiming to know the full truth, Griffin intelligently defines the absurdity of the accepted story of 911 to make his central point: there must be a true investigation of 911.

The New Pearl Harbor is a well documented, clearly presented book that raises questions to which the world should be demanding answers.

The word "Conspiracy" has practically become synonymous with lunacy. There are authors out there who make their living linking every conspiracy theory ever thought of into one garbled mess of a book, then rearranging that mess from time to time and releasing it as a new book.

It is a mistake to consider this book as part of that conspiracy genre.

We should remind ourselves that humans throughout history have proven themselves capable of horrendous things, usually in the name of a few powerful individuals or a class of them, and almost always to gain or protect power. Why should the present be any different? Our "free" society isn't as free as it seems, becoming less so all the time, but we are technically afforded the right to speak our opinions and to assemble. Our elected officials will not ask the right questions. The mainstream media has become an offical mouthpiece of the executive branch, so they can't be counted on to ask any questions. If you agree that the questions raised in this book deserve answering, then raise your voice with others and demand answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book provokes serious thought., Sep 13 2004
By 
Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: New Pearl Harbour (Paperback)
Whenever I recognise factual errors in any work of non-fiction (and I frequently do!), those errors are taken into account when it comes to judging - and reviewing, the work. In the case of this book, I have no way of knowing whether the well-argued and well-reasoned facts surrounding the events in the USA on 11 September 2001 (now known by the acronym "Nine-Eleven") as assembled and described in great detail by the author have any basis or not.

Nevertheless, it is because those allegations "are" well-argued and well-reasoned that this book stands out as one that must be read by all those people on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean who care anything at all about this new style of terrorism, the direction in which the threat it poses is taking our respective countries and the consequential actions (or not!) taken by our leaders.

It is easy to say we have a right to ask questions. It is more important to assert we have a right to demand answers. To return to my original point, therefore, whether or not the allegations in this book have any basis in fact or not, they are allegations which must be addressed by those leaders.

It is important to note that this author is not alone in making such accusations, so this is not a maverick publication. Instead it raises the most worrying and disturbing questions about a series of events which shook the world and, in doing so, made a permanent change to that world - forever!

I live in a small English village. No, not New England, USA - the original England that is still part of Great Britain. Eleven people from this region alone died in the twin towers and similar figures are repeated across this country. I do believe, therefore, it is fair to say we all have an interest in what happened on that defining day and what is being done about it.

Whatever your personal views about those events, whatever your personal involvement (or otherwise), I have reached the conclusion this book should be REQUIRED READING for all citizens of the USA and UK. Once read, you will be asking yourself; Well, did they?, or didn't they? And why do those basic questions about the standard procedures relating to US Air Defences remain unanswered by those at the very top? Or is it we simply don't care how the war is won just as long as it is?

5.0 out of 5 stars The book the White House fears, July 16 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: New Pearl Harbour (Paperback)
I won't go into the evidence presented in this book. There are many reviews here that do just that, and I would be treading on already familiar ground by doing so. I'll pose one question to you, the reader. Why have there been ZERO reviews of this book in the mainstream press when it has been consistently in the top 300 books on Amazon for the past three months, and without any major press coverage, I might add? I challenge you to find another bestselling political book which fits this criterion.

The point is that conservatives would definately want to smear Professor Griffin as another crazed liberal if the book was without merit. That they are silent on this book speaks volumes. Additionally, liberals are afraid to touch this book because they don't want to be painted as conspiracy theorists. Someone should have reviewed this book by now in the mainstream press, yet no one has touched it. It's political dynamite from the perspective of either side.

Reader, the text from this book has been made available on several sites around the web. If you're afraid of blowing $10 on junk, a simple Google search will yield the text online. Spend a few minutes reading and then come back to Amazon and order ten copies to pass out to everyone you know. This book is that important.
