In this new and expanded edition of Michel Chossudovsky's 2002 best seller, the author blows away the smokescreen put up by the mainstream media, that 9/11 was an attack on America by "Islamic terrorists". The expanded edition, which includes twelve new chapters focuses on the use of 9/11 as a pretext for the invasion and illegal occupation of Iraq, the militarisation of justice and law enforcement and the repeal of democracy. According to Chossudovsky, the "war on terrorism" is a complete fabrication based on the illusion that one man, Osama bin Laden, outwitted the $40 billion-a-year American intelligence apparatus. The "war on terrorism" is a war of conquest. Globalisation is the final march to the "New World Order", dominated by Wall Street and the U.S. military-industrial complex. September 11, 2001 provides a justification for waging a war without borders. Washington's agenda consists in extending the frontiers of the American Empire to facilitate complete U.S. corporate control, while installing within America the institutions of the Homeland Security State. Chossudovsky peels back layers of rhetoric to reveal a complex web of deceit aimed at luring the American people and the rest of the world into accepting a military solution which threatens the future of humanity.

Reviews:

Quote:

Chossudovsky has written an alarming book that ought to serve as a wakeup call for every citizen in the World.
-- Anthony Lafratta, Chapter-Indigo

Chossudovsky's book is a "connect the dots" work that should be required reading for media-misled and history-starved Americans.
--Kellia Ramares, Online Journal

Material this provocative and well researched must not be ignored.
-- Scott Loughrey, Baltimore Chronicle

The book is short, concise, filled with footnotes and bibliographies.
