Books like The road to 9/11 by Peter Dale Scott

Name: The road to 9/11
Author: Peter Dale Scott

Peter Dale Scott examines U.S. foreign policy from the 1960s onward, arguing that presidents since Nixon cultivated secret decision‑making that served elite private agendas, often at the expense of democracy and public transparency. The book shows how this policy evolution contributed to the conditions that enabled the 9/11 attacks, and how U.S. intelligence agencies, once supporters of certain terrorist groups, later became involved with those very groups, including al Qaeda.

First publish date: 2007
