“This
riveting
and thoroughly documented study is a ‘must’ resource foreveryone seeking to understand the attack on the World Trade Center of NewYork on September 11, 2001 and ‘America’s New War’ since. It connectstogether over 10 years of relevant covert actions and decisions by top-levelU.S. security-state operations, and organises the whole into a coherent anddevastating exposé of the real meaning and construction of the historic turnof ‘the war against terrorism’ now rewriting laws and constitutions acrossborders. For those who have seen or filed facts on these matters from web-disclosures and scattered revelations of newspapers, this volume provides thedetailed documentation in a definitive and masterful record.”
Professor John McMurtry, Department of Philosophy, University of Ontario; Fellow at the Royal Society of Canada; Chair of Jurists, WarCrimes and Crimes Against Humanity Tribunal at the AlternativeWorld Summit in Toronto, 1989 (Canada)
“The most complete book I know of, summarizing the relevant backgroundand foreground intersecting upon the events of September 11, 2001... A
tour deforce in every respect: organization, methodology, timeliness, clarity of purpose and of scope, activist commitment to more inquiry, evenness, relativecomprehensiveness… I can’t say how much I admire this work. It must be seenby as many people as possible all over the world as soon as possible.”
Barry Zwicker, Producer and Host, MediaFile, Vision TV Insight;award-winning journalist on
CBC-TV
and
CTV
(Canada)
“The material you have collected is immensely important and useful. Youlook at the right subjects and report a number of things I had missed entirely…We need more people doing the important research that you have done.”
Professor Peter Dale Scott, Co-Founder of the Peace and ConflictStudies Program, University of California, Berkeley (United States)
“Powerful, disturbing, and interesting indeed. Your excellent research onthe background of Sep 11 should become known to a larger audience.”
Professor Arno Tausch, Institute for Political Science,University of Innsbruck (Austria)
“A meticulous investigation of circumstances, events and circumstantialevidence of what really happened before and on September 11. There aren’tmany people who still take the task of following the trails of their owndoubts… Your excellent report goes deep into what
really happened andwhat the American defense machinery had let happen.”
