SynopsisThe Road to 9/11is an ambitious, meticulous examination of how U.S. foreign policy since the 1960s has led to partial or total cover-ups of past domestic criminal acts, including the World Trade Center bombing of 1993, and perhaps, by extension, to the catastrophe of 9/11. Peter Dale Scott, whose previous books have investigated CIA involvement in southeast Asia, the drug wars, and the Kennedy assassination, here probes how the policies of presidents since Nixon have augmented the tangled bases for the 2001 terrorist attack. In scrupulous and well-documented chapters, Scott shows how America's expansion into the world since World War II has led to momentous secret decision-making at high levels. He demonstrates how, time and again, these decisions have been made by small cliques that are more and more responsive to the private agendas of private wealth at the expense of the public, of the openly organized democratic state, and of civil society. He shows how, in implementing these agendas, U.S. intelligence agencies have become embarrassingly involved with terrorist groups they once backed and helped create, including al Qaeda. In affirming how other societies, after a similar cycle of imperial overreach and internal decay, have then recovered, the book reviews ways in which a reinvigorated American public could work to restore and strengthen a more open civil society., This is an ambitious, meticulous examination of how U.S. foreign policy since the 1960s has led to partial or total cover-ups of past domestic criminal acts, including, perhaps, the catastrophe of 9/11.

Must read this work!
Scott did the legwork that links several puzzles leading up 9/11, the Patriot Act and the military act of 06. Scott does not go into 9/11 itself and I get the impression that he believes the official conspiracy. Not important as we have other excellent sources for 9/11 such as Dr. Judy Wood's text. What Scott reveals is just how powerful the USA deep state really is. Get this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
