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

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. According to Time Magazine, 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 his "Truth Jihad." Like Jack Kerouac in "On the Road," Barrett has written a gospel for a new generation of post-9/11 skeptics. This ebullient book strikes a confident keynote for this sudden coming of age. It is a tonic draft of Dutch 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. As author and activist, Barrett stands as a giant, uncowed figure in the best American tradition of Thoreau, Whitman, and Clemens.
