20 Best Books On 9/11 (2023 Update)

9/11-enemies foreign and domestic proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the u.s. government's conspiracy theory of the attacks on september 11, 2001, is a preposterous cover story. the evidence proves that powerful zionists ordered the 9/11 attacks, which were perpetrated by israel's mossad, aided and abetted by treacherous high officials in the u.s. government. 9/11-enemies foreign and domestic identifies the traitors by name and details their subversive crimes. there is sufficient evidence in 9/11-enemies foreign and domestic to indict important officials of the u.s. government for high treason. the reader will understand how the u.s. government really works and what sir john harrington (1561-1612) meant when he said: "treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? why if it prosper, none dare call it treason." there are millions of americans who have taken an oath to defend the u.s. constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. the mass media, which is under the control of a disloyal cabal, keeps those patriotic americans ignorant of the traitors among them. j. edgar hoover, former director of the fbi, explained: "the individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous-he simply cannot believe it exists." 9/11-enemies foreign and domestic erases any doubt about the existence of the monstrous conspiracy described by hoover and arms the reader with the knowledge required to save our great nation. "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." hosea 4:6.

"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

Decades after the deadliest terrorist attack on the united states, an event that left no aspect of american foreign or domestic policy untouched, the 9/11 report: a graphic adaptation, offers an accessible account of the most defining event of the century. on december 5, 2005, the 9/11 commission issued its final report card on the government's fulfillment of the recommendations issued in july 2004: one a, twelve bs, nine cs, twelve ds, three fs, and four incompletes. here is stunning evidence that sid jacobson and ernie colón, with more than sixty years of experience in the comic-book industry between them, were right: far, far too few americans have read, grasped, and demanded action on the commission's investigation into the events of that tragic day and the lessons america must learn.using every skill and storytelling method jacobson and colón have learned over the decades, they have produced the most accessible version of the 9/11 report. jacobson's text frequently follows word for word the original report, faithfully captures its investigative thoroughness, and covers its entire scope, even including the commission's final report card. colón's stunning artwork powerfully conveys the facts, insights, and urgency of the original.

"a maddening, essential study in misinformation, jingoism, bad intelligence, and other hallmarks of the recent american past."–kirkus (starred review) anyone who experienced the attacks on september 11 cannot forget the imagery: the smoking, falling towers, the pentagon smoldering, the shanksville crash site, the first responders. but there is an invisible story hidden in the wreckage, one that required years of patient investigation and the piecing together of a sequence from many scattered sources. arkin shows how the us government failed in the face of the unprecedented attack. it is a story of laughable airport security, vulnerable airspace, blind intelligence, poor communications, muddled orders, pentagon chaos, and presidential isolation. everything about the emergency procedures of the governments–from white house security to continuity of government to military alerts–went wrong. on that day is a stunning, nightmare journey through a government reeling in confusion while many civilians performed individual acts of heroism. it is a chilling exposé of government negligence and overreach, and a constitution in crisis.

"over the past eighteen years, monumental literature has been published about 9/11, from lawrence wright's the looming tower, which traced the rise of al-qaeda, to the 9/11 commission report, the government's definitive factual retrospective of the attacks. but one perspective has been missing up to this point–a 360-degree account of the day told through the voices of the people who experienced it. now, in the only plane in the sky, award-winning journalist and bestselling historian garrett graff tells the story of the day as it was lived–in the words of those who lived it. drawing on never-before-published transcripts, recently declassified documents, original interviews, and oral histories from nearly five hundred government officials, first responders, witnesses, survivors, friends, and family members, graff paints the most vivid and human portrait of the september 11 attacks yet. in new york city, first responders confront a scene of unimaginable horror at the twin towers. from a secret bunker underneath the white house, officials watch for incoming planes on radar. aboard the small number of unarmed fighter jets in the air, pilots make a pact to fly into a hijacked airliner if necessary to bring it down. in the skies above pennsylvania, civilians aboard united flight 93 make the ultimate sacrifice in their place. then, as the day moves forward and flights are grounded nationwide, air force one circles the country alone, its passengers isolated and afraid. more than simply a collection of eyewitness testimonies, the only plane in the sky is the historic narrative of how ordinary people grappled with extraordinary events in real time: the father and son working in the north tower, caught on different ends of the impact zone; the firefighter searching for his wife who works at the world trade center; the operator of in-flight telephone calls who promises to share a passenger's last words with his family; the beloved fdny chaplain who bravely performs last rites for the dying, losing his own life when the towers collapse; and the generals at the pentagon who break down and weep when they are barred from rushing into the burning building to try to rescue their colleagues. at once a powerful tribute to the courage of everyday americans and an essential addition to the literature of 9/11, the only plane in the sky weaves together the unforgettable personal experiences of the men and women who found themselves caught at the center of an unprecedented human drama. the result is a unique, profound, and searing exploration of humanity on a day that changed the course of history, and all of our lives.

On september 11th, 2001, port authority police officer, william jimeno, left his home unsuspecting of what the day was about to hold. just a few hours later he lay crushed beneath the twin towers' 220 stories of concrete, steel, and glass. most of his team had already died. he and his sergeant were helplessly trapped. the pain and anguish had only begun.many have seen oliver stone's world trade center, which depicted this horrific day and the rescue of will and his sergeant, john mcloughlin. surviving the initial collapse was only part of the story. multiple surgeries, forced retirement, survivor's guilt, depression, and learning to live again with ptsd were waiting outside of the rubble. will has teamed with clinical psychologist, michael moats, to share his message of faith, hope, and love and how these three things helped him navigate the unchartered waters of learning to live again after the tragedy of september 11th. although sunrise through the darkness speaks directly to first responders, will's message is relatable to anyone who has suffered trauma or loves someone who has. sunrise through the darkness marks the 20 year anniversary of 9/11 and gives honor to those that died through will's continued work of healing and serving others.
