"scott's brilliantly perceptive account of the underpinnings of american governmental authority should be made required reading. the book vividly depicts the political forces that have pushed this country toward an abyss, threatening constitutional democracy at home and world peace abroad. its central message can be understood as an urgent wake-up call to everyone concerned with the future of america."—richard falk, author of the great terror war"peter dale scott is one of that tiny and select company of the most brilliantly creative and provocative political-historical writers of the last half century. the road to 9/11 further secures his distinction as truth-teller and prophet. he shows us here with painful yet hopeful clarity the central issue of our time—america's coming to terms with its behavior in the modern world. scott does not undertake conventional political analysis; instead, he engages in a kind of poetics, crafting the dark poetry of the deep state, of parapolitics, and of shadow government. as with his earlier work deep politics and the death of jfk, scott has no theory of responsibility and does not name the guilty. rather, he maps out an alien terrain, surveying the topography of a political shadow land, in which covert political deviancy emerges as the norm. he shows how such parallel forces of the united states have been able to dominate the agenda of the george w. bush administration, and that statements and actions made by vice president cheney and defense secretary rumsfeld before, during and after september 11, 2001, present evidence for an american 'deep state' and for the so-called 'continuity of government' in parallel to the regular 'public state' ruled by law. scott's brilliant work not only reveals the overwhelming importance of these parallel forces but also presents elements of a strategy for restraining their influence to win back the 'public state', the american democracy."—ola tunander, international peace research institute, oslo"a powerful study of the historic origins of the terrorist strikes of september 11, this book offers an indispensable guide to the gluttonous cast of characters who, since watergate and the fall of nixon, fashioned an ever more reckless american empire. by exposing the corrupt u.s. 'deep state'-transfer of public authority to america's wealthy and to the nation's unaccountable secret intelligence agencies-peter dale scott's the road to 9/11 illuminates the path toward a more democratic and inclusive republic."—david macgregor, king's university college at the university of western ontario"the road to 9/11 provides an illuminating and disturbing history of the american government since world war ii. scott's account suggests that the 9/11 attacks were a culmination of long-term trends that threaten the very existence of american democracy, and also that there has been a massive cover-up of 9/11 itself. can it be saved?' that question opens this book, and getting to the answer called for the honed intellect of a scholar and the sensitivity of a poet. peter dale scott has both, in spades, and here gives us much, much more than a book about 9/11. in a time of fear, he speaks for sanity and freedom."—anthony summers, author of the arrogance of power
