After having read tons of books on 9/11/01, viewed many films about 9/11, Webster's book comes out and blows them all away! Unless you read Webster's book 9/11 Synthetic Terror, Made in USA you won't be able to truly understand terrorism and what really happened on 9/11. Unless you do, it will happen again and again. This book goes beyond the skin-deep research by many on 9/11 and gets to the heart of the problem - the people behind and puppeting our government. Amazing book. A must read.
- Radio talk-show host and author Meria Heller

9/11 Synthetic Terror is by far the best and most comprehensive study of the 9/11 "attacks" in print. In debunking the "myth of the century" Tarpley also places 9/11 into an historical context replete with countless precedents of other synthetic terror. The event of 9/11 is not to be seen as a single day of horror, but rather as act of desperation to halt the decline of Anglo- American dominance and as pretext for world war that is preferable to a certain demise of that power.
A must read for all in the face of creeping global Fascism.

Tarpley crafts an integrated point of view that is not duplicated in scope by anyone else that I am currently aware of. His first-hand investigations into intelligence operations, combined with a cross-disciplinary grasp of history, philosophy and European politics yields rare insights into the phenomena of 9/11. Who else, in a book like this, would report on statements made after 9/11 by the leading recognized PHILOSOPHERS in the West (after all, they ought to be relevant) and show how their inadequate responses predict a widespread conceptual incarceration.
What I love about Tarpley is his sense of civilization – both its deep roots and its vulnerability. There are a couple of amazing paragraphs on page 347, for example, where he references "Plato's Cave" as he articulates a rational preference for Platonic values (truth, beauty, goodness) and dialectic thought over the empiricism of John Locke and its "naive epistemology of sense certainty." He goes on to show how this relates to the mass gullibility in the English speaking world to the deceptions of 9/11.
With Tarpley, it's all about people. His dissection of the neocon lineage with its cast of characters and Nazi progenitors is critical background to understanding the frightening conceptual framework that would give permission to 9/11 as an "okay" thing to do. The stories about Abe Lincoln and why he is a valuable role-model for 9/11 truth are pure Tarpley at his best.
So many superlatives that could be applied to this book that it is hard to know where to begin. The "Networks of Interest" chapter is the best summary inventory of the craziness we're up against that I have seen anywhere. And another of my favorite passages starts on p. 395 where Webster talks about the value imperatives that are shared, not only by the great religious traditions, but by also by "secularists of good will." The specific historic examples of policy that are consistent with these imperatives provide a stirring reminder that we don't have to be living under a nightmare death- wish masquerading as foreign policy.

Editorial Review:

The thesis of Webster Tarpley's 911 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA has been enthusiastically received with its working model of the 9/11 plot: a rogue network of moles, patsies, and a commando cell in the privatized intelligence services, backed by corrupt political and corporate media elites.

Buttressed by historical examples like the Baader-Meinhof Gang and the Gunpowder Plot, this model makes it clear how such a monstrous false-flag or self-terror exploit is possible even under a largely benign government. That paradox is the incredibility gap that has made most Americans reject the evidence about 9/11 as paranoid fantasy.

Tarpley brings decades of expertise to the 9/11 issue. Already in 1978 he had exposed the terrorist Red Brigades as patsies of Italy's fascist P2 shadow government, and 9/11 is on the same pattern. The forthright subtitle, Made in USA, is backed up by an analysis of key figures who behave like moles working for the rogue network or parallel government.

9/11 Synthetic Terror highlights the salient points of sheer physical impossibility of the official 9/11 conspiracy theory. It then analyzes the psychological traits which make Anglo-American society gullible to artificial enemy images and unable to grasp the truth of 9/11.

Understanding how synthetic terror works, we see the weakness of the muddled "blowback" or vengeance theories of terrorism and the spurious leads to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia that have marred many critiques of 9/11. Historically, Tarpley finds, terrorist activity above the most amateur level is always sponsored or at the very least infiltrated by state secret services: a shattering conclusion. Tarpley's model makes it clear that figures like Osama bin Laden are patsies or double agents who were selected for their ethnic coloring as the basis for launching a "Clash of Civilizations," and it is absurd to imagine that such tools of US intelligence agencies could turn around and infiltrate or overwhelm US defenses unaided.

9/11 Synthetic Terror is also firmly grounded in Great Power geopolitics. It shows that the wars on the Islamic world, the Soviet-Afghan, Kosovo and Chechen conflicts, as well as US-UK-NATO synthetic terror incidents like 9/11, Beslan, 3/11 in Madrid or 7/7 in London, have been contrived to continue the Cold War, in pursuit of the centuries-long campaign for Anglo hegemony over Eurasia and the world.

For a principled refutation of the 9/11 propaganda myth in all its parts, Tarpley's work is indispensable.
