Book Description

Publication Date: July 2006
A disturbing exposé of the American government’s hidden agenda, before and after the Sept.11, 2001 terrorist attacks. A wide range of documents show U.S. officials knew in advance of the "Boeing bombing" plot, yet did nothing. Did the attacks fit in with plans for a more aggressive U.S. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must read April 18 2003
By S. Davison
Format:Paperback
As many of the reviewers before have said. This is definately a must read.
Although Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed is extremely repetitive and sometimes comes off sounding like he's trying to convince himself more than the reader. But the facts do not lie. You can look up every source he sites and double check the facts yourself. Although there is no way of truely knowing the absolute truth regarding 9-11. This is as close as you'll ever get.

It also has some startling predictions that the author may have no completely realised until the recent war with Iraq. Some of his observations and that of some of the sources he sites in the book are startling and to be honest damn scary.

In the end I gave this book 4 stars. Mainly for the rehashing he does. In a couple of spots he practically resites entire paragraphs from 3 or 4 pages back.

After reading this you will definately look more closely and question more deeply our foreign policy.

5.0 out of 5 stars question authority April 11 2003
By robin bird
Format:Paperback
The American public is too quick to believe simple answers from its leaders. There's more to 9-11 and our invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq than most realize and it's imperative that we, as individual citizens, start demanding answers now. I don't believe everything in this book because I don't believe much of anything I read. But I'm suspicious of the Bush administration and I'm so convinced that our country is headed in a very bad direction that I bought 15 copies, in addition to my own, to donate to my city's (Oakland, CA) libraries.
