Rating:  Summary: required reading Review: This is a very well-researched, detailed and important work on the evidence surrounding the events of September 11, 2001. It collates data from the world press, foreign intelligence experts, experts on central Asia, the Middle East and Islamism, etc. in try to understand the background to 911. The conclusions are surprising and frightening. Should be required reading for the Senators who are investigating the events of 9/11.
Rating:  Summary: This research will effectively recast history regarding 9/11 Review: I am going to be blunt: The research behind this book will effectively recast history with respect to September 11, 2001. This brilliant UK-based author has compiled the relevant research from over 700 resources in the mainstream media and methodically and meticulously presented what the U.S. media and our government has refused to do - provide a comprehensive analysis of the events that surround that tragic day in September. I must confess, this is the most disturbing book that I have every read, and the implications about this government are so dire that it will bring tears to the eyes of the most hardened of men. I am an American and a patriot, but what the current Bush administration has done is set this country on an unavoidable collision course into a national crisis the likes of which we have not seen since the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln. This immensely important book is a virtual indictment of the current administration, and we will soon have a crisis of legitimacy, trust and confidence in our own government. I cannot begin to articulate the importance of this book to every American who wants to understand why 3000 of our fellow citizens were murdered on the that awful morning, thus I will simply post a few statements from the author and quotes from our founding fathers in the hope that God will bless this country during our impending national crisis: "As far as the facts on record are concerned, the best explanation of them, in the opinion of this author, is one that points directly to U.S. state responsibility for the events of September 11th 2001. A detailed review of the facts points not only to Kabul, but to Riyadh, Islamabad and most principally, Washington. Furthermore, in the opinion of this author, the documentation presented in this study strongly suggests, though not necessarily conclusively, that significant elements of U.S. government, military and intelligence agencies had exclusive advance warning of the September 11th attacks, and were in various ways complicit in those attacks. This is certainly not a desirable inference, but it is one that best explains the available data. At the very least then, the facts on record demonstrate with certainty an ongoing U.S. policy of willful and reckless indifferences to American lives, motivated fundamentally by strategic and economic interests. This policy has been relentlessly pursued, regardless of the dangers to American lives, of which the U.S. policy-making establishment is fully aware. This policy therefore amounts, even at the lowest possible level of involvement, to deliberate if indirect complicity in the September 11th attacks, on the part of the Bush administration. Although it is the opinion of this author that the documentation gathered strongly indicates the conscious complicity of the Bush administration in the 9/11 attacks, it should once again be emphasized that this stuffy does not aim to provide a conclusive or exhaustive analysis. It is primarily intended to collate the innumerable facts surrounding the events of September 11th, of which the public is largely unaware, and clarify them with extensive documentation. These facts have simply not been addressed in an adequate fashion in the media, and the conventional version of events officially espoused by the Bush administration, and slavishly repeated by the media and academia, fails to account for or explain them. Most commentators, including supposed critics of U.S. policy, are content to arbitrarily dismiss any discussion of the role of the U.S. government in the 9/11 as irrelevant. But as this study demonstrates, the facts on record are far too important in their implications to be dismisses by anyone who is serious about understanding the events of September 11th. In the final analysis, then, this study points to a host of unanswered questions and blatant anomalies that U.S. government, military and intelligence agencies must be forced to answer through a public inquiry. Such an inquiry is clearly a matter of the greatest urgency, and must be demanded as such by all sectors of society." "Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other...No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison "We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes." - President Eisenhower's Farewell speech, 1961 "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be ... The People cannot be safe without information. When the press is free, and every man is able to read, all is safe."- Thomas Jefferson "When a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security." - Thomas Jefferson "To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards out of men." - Abraham Lincoln
Rating:  Summary: One of the Scariest Books You'll Ever Read Review: I judge a book such as this one by the quality of its footnotes and this one is top grade. If you want to maintain your illusions about your place in the world, you might want to watch TV instead. But if you believe that an informed citizen is the first step toward freedom, read it. Something very foul is afoot in our land and this book helps you make sense of it all. Fascinating and frightening.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT! Review: I Received my copy and I have a hard time putting it down. The research is excellent. If I were a billionaire I would buy every copy published and send one to every houshold in the country. Its that important. I am going to buy a few copies and donate them to the library system that I work for. Every citizen should have access to this book!
Rating:  Summary: a very important book Review: In this extraordinarily well-documented work, Ahmed makes poignant connections that would have even the most patriotic and conservative Americans demanding that Congress investigate 9/11 and question the events since....This is an important piece of literature. May the truth be known.
Rating:  Summary: The Best Book available on the Subject of September 11 Review: Mr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed's first book "The War on Freedom" is informative, well-researched and deserved to be the best book available in the market on the subject of September 11 attacks.
Rating:  Summary: Required reading Review: I laugh at warnings not to read this book. This IS America, isn't it? It's well documented, and makes the case that the GOVERNMENT, NOT the United States, may very well be complicit in 9/11 -- by omission, if not co-mission. It makes a very clear case regarding who benefited from 9/11 -- and who continues to. These words are warnings we all need to hear -- and read. One of the most interesting points is made regarding the illegality of the U.S. government activities these days, and how they fly in the face of the Constitution -- and how we all seem to be just looking the other way (particularly people who would warn you not to read this book!). States' rights have taken an especially painful hit as the Federal Government continues to expand to grotesque proportions, giving the lie to any "Conservative" stature the Republicans may claim. My only complaint is that the book tends to repeat itself a lot -- which may need to happen to some extent to get these points across. Still, I had the feeling that it was written on a PC and the printout was never given a good final editing. Just the same, it's important information, well researched and documented. No one has to believe it all -- but if you limit your information and news to the mass media, you deserve whatever you get.
Rating:  Summary: Best 9/11 book out there. Review: Ignore the losers who post 1 star reviews. I find it hilarious that these phony patriots dare to call this book "propaganda" and people who read it "brainwashed" when it is painfully obvious that these morons are the ones that are brainwashed and complete propaganda slaves.
Isn't it sad that a guy from Bangladesh that lives in the U.K. has to write a book in order to alert Americans to the incredible danger they're in? People that bash this book are the very people propaganda was designed for. I once read a quote that said "The purpose of propaganda is not to fool the critical thinker, it's purpose is to give the moral coward a reason not to have to think." How very true.
All these 9/11 books aren't about bashing Bush and they are not anti-American. How can you call something anti-American when it's purpose is to wake you up out of your television-induced trance so you can do something to save the country you "love" so much? Bush and Cheney are just the latest in a long line of gangsters that are slected, not elected, to run this country.
So all you "sunshine patriots" keep believing in this organized crime syndicate that we have that calls itself a government and don't say a damn word when they take all your rights and turn you into a full-fledged slave. You deserve it.
The government did it, this book proves it. Get it.
Rating:  Summary: Educate yourself Review: Ignore the dumb title because this book provides some very important context in a time of flag-waving empty-headedness. The author does draw many conclusions of his own, but mostly he simply corrals the best investigative reporting (much of it from major media sources), public testimony, and government documents into a coherent picture of why things went down as they did. The historical and political backstory provided is crucial to dispelling the apalling myth that we were attacked out of the blue and nothing could be done about it. The tone is incredulous and even-handed rather partisan or ideological. The facts presented in this book rocked me to my very core and left me mad as hell. (Compare the facts in this book to the 9-11 Commission Report and decide for yourself.)
Rating:  Summary: A COMPLETE JOKE Review: This author obviously has a political and religious agenda. For anyone today to seriously believe that anyone than Muslim Arab terrorists perpetrated the most heinous terrorist incident in hostory is just moronic. His "proofs" are all worthless inuendo, and remind me of some of the nonsense I read on snopes.com. It's pretty amazing what some people will believe. For those reviewers who think this book is important, let alone factual, I've got this great bridge to sell you...
Don't waste your cash on this trash!
