Product Description

An attentive observer of international affairs, Meyssan was intrigued by the anomalies in the first photographs released of the attack on the Pentagon on September 11th 2001, then by the confusion and contradictions in official statements, including some about events at the World Trade Center. As a result, he carried out his own investigation, which lead him from surprise to surprise. Meyssan challenges the entire official version of the September 11th attacks - claiming that the Pentagon was hit, not by a plane, but by a guided missile fired on the orders of far right-wingers inside the US government.

9/11 the truth the whole truth and everything but the truth?
As a 16 year old the atrocities of 9/11 in New York were the biggest and most terryfying act of destruction I have witnessed, and living in England it apperaed to me we were getting a one sided story from the media. Thierry however, gives other possibilities as to why and how this disaster occured. I found he gave an alternate answer for questions and claims I had and i'm sure many others did. However, he did tend to stray with technical and irrelevant language making certain chapters too long and drawn out. In this book Thierry never says his story is correct and he never attempts to understand nor agree or disagree with the happenings on 9/11 but he does give the reader a chance to make their own minds up and I found this book thoroughly intriguing and a good read.

Amazing
This book may (i repeat MAY) show a valuable insight into 9/11. This is a very well layied out and thought through book and he lists every single source of information. Later on in the book it goes back 10 years or so into the past of Bin Laden and the Bush family and there bussiness relationship. Definatly a must read.

Very well informed, independent, serious
Besides the version of the facts proposed by Thierry Meyssan which can leaves the reader septic, although it is more logical than the one given by Washington, the elements brought here cannot leave us inflexible, as for example the testimony of the lieutenant Vreeland to the Canadian authorities on AUGUST 12TH, 2001, which contained a precise description of the attacks such as they occurred 1 month later. Obviously independent, we have to recognize the quality of the information here condensed, among which some very rare although they are essential to understand these events. Thierry Meyssan goes of revelations to revelations, quoting for every assertion his sources which each can reach. Every sentence bases itself on facts, and the author never flares up in silly reasonings, although they're horrifying. Far from the catchy title obviously advertising, it's a TRUE SERIOUS work of investigation which goes much further to wonder whether yes or not, this plane was crushed on the Pentagon... Don't buy the book for the Pentagon Plane Crash thesis, there are only 20 pages about it. This part is much more detailed and convincing in the last Thierry Meyssan's book "Pentagate". "The big lie" is however essential and still the best book about the Attack.
