A disturbing exposé of the American governments 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 Americas New War on Terror.

The facts not the opinions surrounding 9/11

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

If anyone wants to know about the background to 9/11 and the US government's collusion in the attacks, and its subsequent 'justification' for initiating the disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, 'The War on Freedom' by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmad provides a plethora of absolute facts (well documented and fully referenced absolute facts not subjective opinion loosely wrapped in irritating wooly anti-American rhetoric). After a dozen or so pages the reader of this book will gain a solid understanding of the events leading up to 9/11, and by the end of it only the most blindly rabid supporters of US foreign policy will fail to see that the freedom mentioned in the book's title is actually the one the Founding Fathers fought so hard to nurture. Not a book easily found (I'd have preferred one in mint condition but I had to opt for a used copy - one very cheaply bought and efficiently delivered as it happened) but whether new, used, soiled, dog-eared, even if its pages are falling out, it is well worth acquiring. Read it. And if you are an American, pass it around and expose your friends and neighbours, and in the process perhaps your increasingly toxic US government, to some cleansing oxygen and health-giving sunlight. The American Dream might then nudge the current Nightmare off the stage. I'm pushing 73 years of age and have studied US foreign policy for decades but, perhaps against the odds, I still can hope.

If there's MONEY to be made, there's likely a PIPELINE in the mix

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's a gripping tale of Western Civilization's military power game over, helpless and defenseless nations for their natural resources and the right to control their territory. It describes treachery, cruelty and dirty tricks as to how the American Empire controls, dominates and exerts military power to entangle a nation for its resources. If there's money to be made, there's likely a PIPELINE in the mix. It shows, how military deals are done and who really is initiating TERRORISM. The author does a great job of naming government officials and others players in the web of deceit. The book is well written and intriguing to read, a good purchase.

Required reading

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2004

Verified Purchase

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.

A miscalculated provocation

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2003

Verified Purchase

This formidably documented book is not a final verdict on the 9/11 attacks, but it clearly exposes some very strange and disturbing facts. Into the bargain, it poses the right question: who benefited?
The author presents a strong case that the 9/11 attacks were a miscalculated provocation - the extent of the damage was grossly underestimated.
To support his thesis, Ahmed piles up a wealth of information: e.g. the leader of the 9/11 attacks received money from the chief of the Pakistani intelligence, who acted in accord with other US covert actions; the Taliban and the madrasas were set up by the US; the FBI's failure to apprehend suspected terrorists was the result of high level blocks; an inquiry into this intelligence failure was also blocked; Bin Laden had powerful protectors in Washington; intelligence agencies had extensive advance warnings of the attacks and were in various ways complicit in those attacks; the US defence system had amply the time to intercept the hijacked planes, but did nothing ... One can go on!
Apparently, powerful elements in the intelligence community and the Bush Administration believed that a 'minor' damage would contribute to a 'greater good' for those in power. This greater good was 'still more power to the powerful': the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, the weapons industry, the oil industry and their Bush Administration.
In fact, those are the winners of the 'War on Terror', by giving nearly almighty power to the intelligence units: a coup d'etat against the US constitution with curtailment of civil liberties, basic freedoms and human rights. On the other hand, the US defence budget reaches new highs and military intervention with nuclear weapons is now planned. A peace dividend is farther away than ever.
The author explains clearly the geostrategic importance of Afghanistan for the exploration of the enormous oil and gas reserves in the Caspian region.
He even predicted the military intervention in Iraq.
This is a very disturbing and frightening book with a perfect title. A must read.

Essential reading to understand what is happening in the world today

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

11.09 has defined much of the 21st century to date. How did 11.09 come about? The individuals and agencies involved in the attacks, what exactly the event has defined and, most significantly, what it was intended to define, is the focus of this book.
But this is no half-baked conspiracy theory book: this is meticulously researched, abundantly referenced and lucidly argued. Not that argument is always necessary: often a juxtaposition of data will suffice, as in the excellent section on "the collapse of Standard Operating Procedures". In this chapter the author demonstrates how the established responses to events such as hi-jackings can only have been sabotaged at the highest level on 11.09. But the book explores, and documents, so much more. It explores the failure of US intelligence to warn the people of what they knew was going to happen. It analyses US interests both at home and abroad and the role of a controllable Afghanistan in the context of these desired scenarios. And it reveals an American elite guilty of aiding and abetting terrorism against its own people.
In short, if you wish to understand what's going on in the world today, this book is essential reading.
