9/11 - the big lie Paperback – January 1, 2002

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 32 ratings

Although widely criticized when it first appeared in March of this year, Thierry Meyssan s 11 Septembre: L Effroyable Imposture, nevertheless went on France s bestseller list in its second week and became the highest-grossing book in a single week in Europe ever. As Alan Riding noted in the European edition of The New York Times, it is a book that has taken on a life of its own. Now, American readers have their own opportunity to evaluate the merit of the author s arguments. Just published by USA Books are the English-language editions of the original title and a companion volume, Pentagate. As a former student of theology as well as of political science, M. Meyssan brings to his work a sincere desire to provide an explanation of the tragedy in the context of his left-of-center philosophy. His books are focused primarily on what he believes are serious inconsistencies between observations of the damage to the Pentagon and the official explanation of what happened there. In September 11: The Big Lie, he also discusses similar discrepancies surrounding the destruction of the World Trade Center towers. The evidence that supports the author s arguments includes eyewitness accounts and commentary by a military authority on explosives. However, most of the narrative consists of the author s own analyses of the reports by politicians and journalists as well as of film footage of the sites. Photos are included. According to the author, interest in these books in the U.S. is already very strong.Speaking as head of a think tank called the Voltaire Network, he notes, Two-thirds of the hits on our Web site come from the United States. For students of history and political science, as well as all concerned citizens, these are important books to be aware of. While some may be offended by the author s conclusions, his beliefs clearly hold an appeal for many outside the United States.

    Thierry Meyssan 9/11 approaches the demolition of 9/11 from a very different perspective. Where as Dr. Judy Wood, "Where Did The Towers Go?" is a structural engineer, One of the best, and poses 43 unanswered questions. And concludes that 9/11 was a demonstration to the world of a new technology known as free energy. This is a force that can be used for demonic, ruinous, earth-destructive purposes as the Hutchison effect, interferometry explains.
    Meyssan's "9/11 The Big Lie" approaches the disaster very differently. The book is based exclusively on documents published by the White House and the U.S.Department of Defense as well as statements by U.S. civilian and military leaders to the international press. What stunned me deeply was "Operation Northwoods on pages 143 - 147. Every American should read these pages and note what the defense department is capable of. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara saved us from this horrid disaster, but there won't always be a McNamara. Trump may be our Brigadier General William H. Craig. Who will stop him?

    Very interesting book on the assassination of JFK and I recommend it, however, I was looking for even more detail. This book distributor is located in Lancashire, UK. Coincidentally, this is where my maternal grandparents came from. They migrated to Boston, MA.

    Meyssan was one of the first whistleblowers on the lies of 9/11. He's French, so not worried about bad consequences of the embarrassing accusations.
