The new Pearl Harbor : disturbing questions about the Bush administration and 9/11

Book

The new Pearl Harbor : disturbing questions about the Bush administration and 9/11 / by David Ray Griffin ; foreword by Richard Falk.

Griffin, David Ray, 1939- (Author).

Summary:

From a skeptical vantage-point, but also taking to heart the classic idea that those who benefit from a crime ought to at least be investigated, [the author] brings together an account of the national tragedy that is far more logical than the one we've been asked to believe. Gathering stories from the mainstream press, reports from other countries, the work of other researchers, and the contradictory words of members of the Bush administration themselves, Griffin presents a case that leaves very little doubt that the attacks of 9/11 need to be further investigated.
