The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (Vintage)
Lawrence Wright
Vintage, 2007
Good intro to the topic
Good intro into a more detailed study of radical Islamism. No overt bias. Virtually no discussion of the events leading up to the actual 9/11 attacks -- but a good overview of the rise of al Queda.
The book really makes al Queda and al Jihad seem like a bunch ...

The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-Up, and the Exposé
David Ray Griffin
Olive Branch Press, 2008
If you have an empirical mind, you'll love this book.
David Ray Griffin has offered up another stellar work. The many little known facts and attendant analysis that he again puts forth here regarding 9/11 makes the official account just seem utterly silly and ridiculous. An emperical mind is only one ingredient ...

Hope and Help for Your Nerves (Signet)
Claire Weekes
Signet, 1990
Coping with Anxiety and Panic: An Oldie but Goodie
I love this book. The author has such a dear way of "talking to" the reader, as though she were right there, guiding you through the steps to overcome your anxiety. Some things in it are out of date. For example, she talks about ECT, and how her methods will help ...

New Society Publishers, 2004
The Occams Razor for 9-11 and our times.
This book is the best explanation yet for why the executive level of government committed the 9-11 false flag operation. Being an engineer, the physics of 9-11 is what got me asking questions. But for most peope this will not be compelling for they lack physics ...

The Last Apprentice: Attack of the Fiend (The Last Apprentice)
Joseph Delaney
Greenwillow, 2008
Awesome spine-tingling series
Wow! This series just gets better and better! I don't even like horror, but these books strike the right tone. Delightfully creepy (boys will love it), but not too intense for children ages 10 and up. I loooove the narrative voice. The main character's simple, ...

Villard, 2008
THE BEAUTY OF TRUTH

Plan of Attack
Bob Woodward
Simon & Schuster, 2004
Deju vu all over again
I just reread _Plan of Attack_, and was struck by how much light it sheds on the currently unfolding drama swirling around Iran.
To the extent that President Bush still appears to believe that it is his sacred duty to strike pre-emptively at evil wherever he finds ...
