"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. As in his past work, Scott's gift is not only recognition
and wisdom but also redemption and rescue we simply cannot do
without."--Roger Morris, former NSC staffer
""The Road to 9/11" is vintage Peter Dale Scott. 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. After
reading Scott, we can no longer continue with our consensus-driven
belief that our so-called 'liberal' order renders impossible the
triumph of the politically irrational."--EricWilson, Senior
Lecturer of Public International Law, Monash University, and
co-editor of "Government of the Shadows"
"Peter Dale Scott exposes a shadow world of oil, terrorism, drug
trade and arms deals, of covert financing and parallel security
structures-from the Cold War to today. 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. This
book, which combines extensive research, perceptive analysis, and a
fascinating narrative, will surely be considered Scott's magnum
opus."--David Ray Griffin, author of "Debunking 9/11 Debunking"
"'The America we knew and loved. 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"
