War and Globalisation: The Truth Behind September 11

This book slipped underneath my radar but now I have a copy and I recommend it to all Americans. This book will answer a lot of questions that you didn't know that you had.

Chossudovski from the Center for Research on Globalization, has written a marvelous expose on the reality behind the globalization process. A bitter reality, that utilizes unscrupulous means to achieve the desired ends for the world's elites. He discusses the political process behind the war on terror with terrifying simplicity and clarity that would leave the reader puzzled, and flabbergasted. I would highly recommend this book for every reader who is interested in seeking the truth that's buried somewhere out there. It's an extremely educational and illuminating book.

Canadian professor of economics Michel Chossudovsky contains that rare gift of a writer who can compile massive documentary evidence, then propound it in a succinct, lucid manner. In this illuminating work the host of the critically acclaimed Global Research website takes widely acclaimed and often repeated media assumptions and sharply refutes them, providing a chronology and road map behind 9-11 and related events.One major assumption that the sagacious Chossudovsky confronts is that of "blowback" apropos 9-11. In essence, in that we were involved in seeking to combat international terrorism, it is only logical that these efforts have been blown back at us through the tragic 9-11 attacks. The author notes that, with the numerous contacts between the Bush family and the U.S. government and Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, the blowback theory has no validity. He notes the linkage between the U.S. government and particularly the CIA and bin Laden extending from 1979 in Afghanistan, when, amid reported anxiety to thwart the Soviet Union and challenge the regime then in place that Moscow supported, a decision was made to back the Saudi terrorist and the radical Islamic network of which he was a part. The author draws an axis involving the CIA, Pakistani Military Intelligence, the Taliban and bin Laden's Al Qaeda Network.A large part of the book involves a necessary topic area that has been nervously glossed over by conventional American media sources for good reason; it hits too close to home and indicts the largest international energy conglomerates. The author spends much time examining the link between big oil and public policy. In terms of providing vital information, this compact volume provides more valuable information in one chapter than so many contemporary volumes do with many pages on 9-11 and related events. The Trans-Afghan Pipeline chapter is a compact gem, detailing the aspirations of the CentGas Consortium in the region. Chossudovsky demonstrates that the frequently repeated and fallacious Bushie shibboleths of getting Saddam before he gets us are rhetorical sallies designed to inflame public opinion by skirting around the important truths that only a few courageous authors such as himself dare reveal.In the wake of the current problems experienced by the Bush administration and pre-war statements concerning Iraq and its military capabilities, Chossudovsky's book contains an even sharper ring of necessity. Its bullseye clarity cuts through the morass of Bush verbage, daring readers to examine the pure, unvarnished truth of a nation using its military and intelligence capabilities to control the global oil market on the pretext of making the world a safer place.

Concise and well-researched book on the hidden agenda behind the so-called "war on terrorism". Michel Chossudovsky shows us that it was indeed Washington that has been supporting islamic terrorists since the days of Jimmy Carter (and still continues to do so). The reader learns about the role of the ISI, the Pakistanian secret service, and how it helps the CIA to keep their hands clean.If only half of it is true (and the sources quoted appear to be very reliable), this is scary. Very scary.

This book shows the real goals behind all of America's actions from the Cold War and on to foriegn policy taken after September 11. Taking over the middle eastern pipelines and segregating Russia, its no wonder the global view of America has gone down.
