|
Part nonfiction, part fictional novel - The American Truth paints a picture of the âsecretsâ of the 9/11 attacks. This page-turner makes you question whether you witnessed one of the most controversial events in history.
The fiction section puts the 9/11 controversies into a riveting, action-packed narrative similar to that of the novel The Da Vinci Code. The non-fiction section provides an overview of the 9/11 controversies. The Plot: Nathan Alexander, a media liaison at the Pentagon, survives the September 11th attack but tragically losses his wife in the event. Years after the tragedy, Nathanâs suspicion leads him to discover that his wife had inside information of a major conspiracy within the U.S. government. While investigating into the conspiracy, Nathan comes across a computer hacker, Daniel Lewin, who is also interested in uncovering the truth about 9/11. Together, they use their computer skills and Pentagon access to discover information the U.S. government wants to keep a secret. |

Clearly, what's most compelling about this book is the author's attempt to get the information out. He invites you up front to visit the compendium on his web site, which is in more detail and more often updated than the book itself is. Think of it as a kind of Trojan horse that doesn't have a lot of bite in its belly but does call attention to things that ought to be calmly considered. It doesn't have the hysterical edge that some in the 911 Truth Movement have, so I was able to read the information presented and think "Hmmmmm...." without rejecting it out of hand. I must admit, it made me want to explore further.
I found the nonfictional parts more compelling than the fictional story that follows. I get the sense that the fictional story is maybe a first or second draft that could have been much better had more elbow grease been applied; that, or an honest, heartfelt effort in the hands of someone who has no illusions about being a "real writer." In the hands of someone who would know how to treat the material, it could have been a real thriller with a movie deal in the works. As it stands now, though, it's pretty threadbare storytelling with mistakes that will make any sensitive reader wince. I am happy, however, to have sent a bit of money this author's way. The more people we have thinking about what's really going on in our world, the better, and it's clear the author is passionate about his subject. (Review Data Last Updated: 2009-08-07 06:25:25 EST)

Okay, so the book starts out loaded with conjecture, second-hand sources, and shamelessly bad prose. Can you say, grammar?
I am not being a jerk, but I can write better than this. It's just hard to take seriously; thus, I did not make it more than two-hundred pages deep. And that was a serious undertaking. Now, I am not conservative in the slightest--crazily liberal, infact--and don't quite care for the governments take on what happened. However, the more I researched empirically and submerged myself in the world of cold science, the more I came back empty-handed. I was finding nothing that indicated the more elaborate and fanciful explanations/conspiracies that the "theorists" were putting out. I started talking to my physics prof/ the campus ME faculty and subscribed to a few scientific journals, all of this circa 2004-05, when I realized that when you take a completely uncontrolled circumstance, such as 9/11, there are and will be so many variables and unaccounted-for's, that it will make all the unexplained phenomena of a controlled experiment (and there is, almost every time) look wildly meek by contrast. And I was able to personally debunk every 9/11 theory out there. Almost. The only one that remains a true oddity that side-stepped my rationale was WT7. And I have yet to here anyone really debunk this one rationally. I still can't fully account for that. And I believe it needs to be. The rest is junk, including this badly written/researched book. Please, not this book. Any other book, this one's for the reptilian race believers. Peace. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-05-15 07:50:58 EST)
