Within nine days of 9/11, a group of neoconservatives had written a letter to President Bush advising him on how to conduct "the war on terrorism."

Reviews:

"...exposes the neocon agenda for US imperialism .."

Rauf A. Azhar, Professor of Economics, University of Central Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan

"A welcome respite from the constant disinformation and historical revisionism emanating from the realm of the neo-conservative media, policy launderers, and think tanks. During these troubled times, scholarship and truth telling, not propaganda, are absolute necessities.

Wayne Madsen, Author, columnist and investigative journalist, Washington, DC
