Truth Jihad: My Epic Struggle Against the 9/11 Big Lie

by Kevin Barrett

Millions of people now know the main arguments for the thesis '9/11 was an inside job', starting from the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center buildings No. 1, 2 and 7. Even a champion of orthodoxy like "Time Magazine" was obliged to note that the '9/11 Truth Movement' is no longer 'a fringe phenomenon. It is a mainstream reality'. Kevin Barrett takes this now-familiar thesis as a springboard to new territory in this book. Like Jack Kerouac in 'On the Road', Barrett has written a gospel for a new generation of post-9/11 sceptics.This ebullient book strikes a confident keynote for this sudden coming of age. It is a tonic draft of courage for millions of disenfranchised 9/11 truthers - and for the uneasy majority who sense that America, once a beacon of ideals for humanity, is no longer on the right track. "Truth Jihad" is the first '9/11 Truth' book that is not primarily tasked with proving 9/11 was an inside job to our fellow humanity, who remain blindly trapped inside the mainstream media bubble. For millions of us the facts are already painfully clear now - as is the frustration of trying to convey the harsh truth to those who aren't ready for it. This book is a sharing of that experience, and an affirmation of life and literature after 9/11 - a lively celebration of art, freedom, truth and protest.

Well, this book WAS amazing, but the implications are very distressing and horrible. So, though I loved it, I also hated it and am not sure I can honestly recommend it. It becomes clear right away that Barrett's a brilliant and sober thinker/scholar, so his assertions of a 9/11 cover-up within the federal government seem all the more plausible. Depressing.
