Summary: Disturbing account of events
Comment: I still remember seeing the twin towers collapse and could not help but think that there was something not quite right and this book merely confirmed my fears.
This book is excellently written in a concise and structured manner. It gives evidence, hipothetical accounts of what may have gone wrong and why it went wrong.
Would recommend also to those who enjoy reading "Conspiracy Theory" books.

Summary: Good book, some dubious elements
Comment: I first read this book after having been involved with the 9/11 Truth Movement for a long time. David Ray Griffin provides a lot of solid evidence that the United States government was complicit in the attacks, while not explicitly saying this is what happened. His book provokes you into critically analysing the events of that day for yourself instead of relying on the 9/11 Commission Whitewash.
There are some things I disagree with, such as Griffin's contention that whatever hit the Pentagon was not flight 77, but overall this is a good book. I recommend it.

Summary: Withering deconstruction of the official myth
Comment: On its own, The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 presents a very convincing case that the official version of events regarding the 9/11 attacks is, to put it bluntly, a pack of lies. Dispassionately and with a total lack of histrionics, David Ray Griffin makes a case which I guarantee you will find hard to argue with. When read in conjunction with Griffin's related work, The 9/11 Commission: Omissions and Distortions, the impression one is left with is that democracy no longer exists in the USA.
Ask yourself one question; how big a conspiracy are we facing, when a ostensibly democratic government could engineer a diabolically ingenious event such as 9/11 in order to give it the green light to wage endless wars of imperialistic aggression against whomsoever it wishes, and at the same time to gain the backing of official institutions, media and foreign governments, whilst ensuring its members make a nice fat profit into the bargain? Just how far, and how high, has the corruption spread?
The answer to that question is, as far as it possibly can. Any system which is corrupt at the top has to be, by its very nature, corrupt all the way up its hierarchy. As highlighted by David Ray Griffin, and without even examining any of the reams of other evidence that exists, far from being a democratically elected President, George W. Bush is an idiotic, despotic figurehead who was selected to advance a New World Order agenda of global domination in the hands of a super-rich elite who have, are, and will continue to, treat the human race like a huge herd of wealth-generating cattle.
The events of 9/11, when followed to their logical conclusion, suggest the existence of an agenda which is frightening in the extreme, and paint a bleak picture for the future of large numbers of the human race. Anyone who has done any additional research into the New World Order will know that mass depopulation of Planet Earth (from 6.5 billion to about 2 billion) is part of their plan, and 9/11 is one of the events which (they hope) will help them achieve their goals. To help prevent this agenda from reaching its conclusion it is essential to understand the real truth behind 9/11, and in this regard David Ray Griffin's work is almost second to none.
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards world government. The supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, at the 1991 Bilderbergers meeting in Baden-Baden.
"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists." - J. Edgar Hoover.

Summary: Facts cannot be denied !
Comment: Everyone should read this well researched book, I am convinced by it & now believe the events were carefully [ but badly ] stage managed.
Anyone not convinced by it is surely the conspiracy theorist.
Why is it that people who question & dont take things at face value are always considered to be nuts ?
It's the people who do ask difficult questions & demand more information such as professor David Ray Griffin , who will help us find the truth.
I thank him for his work on this, but do worry about his safety with the ' dark forces '.
More such eminent thinkers are now asking for an enquiry , so hopefully there will be one . Let's hope the powers that be will not think they can get away with a 'whitewash ' because we will not allow them to get away with it.
Please read it your money will be well spent on the now historical facts of 9/11.

Summary: An outstanding introduction to revisionist 911 history
Comment: David Ray Griffin's book is a consumate presentation of most of the "hiccoughs" in the official theory concerning the Twin Towers and Pentagon attacks. His style is terse, transparent, and thought-provoking where it is not convincing. I have read the second edition, and it really is an improvement--each chapter concludes with a small section on new perspectives since the original version, and the long "Afterword" functions as a rhetorical capstone for the entire work. This book is fairly fast-paced and contains no "original" research, but nevertheless is responsibly documented. In spite of my unreserved recommendation of this book, I would strongly recommend any newbies to view the film "Loose Change" before reading it to help establish a map of the territory. Griffin's stated goal was to present a document that American lawmakers can grasp so as to incite an open and thorough investigation into the trigger for the never-ending war on terror. Respect for our brave citizens who are risking and losing their lives in this conflict demands nothing less.
