Timely and Jaded
The author has produced a text that reads like a conviction of the establishment with its underlining players. Very timely with the current happenings in the Middle East. Many of the figures that appear on the surface of world politics are but pawns of others who play behind the scene and manipulate world affairs for their own interest. This text brings to light these matters and ask pertinent questions about the role that the hidden powers will play on world affairs to achieve their ultimate goal, total domination of the planet. Well worth reading. The author should do more to improve the readability of the text, such as breaking topics into chapters. The book leaves many things up in the air, as how to really deal with the issues. I would hope that follow on books would attempt to answer these questions. Don't just point the finger, but point the direction.

This Book Is Not Just Another "Terrorism" Book
The author approaches the topic of possible hidden factors and contributors to terrorist acts as a concerned, patriotic American. This thought-provoking and exceptional slant has been researched well. As loyal Americans, we should be allowed the freedom to both write and read what may be the alarming truth to the horrible acts of terrorism. We need to wake-up to the truth if such atrocious acts are to cease from our society. The publisher should have printed the book with justified alignment and without unnecessary spacing. The font is a nice size for reading. The book would make a nice Christmas gift for those who are inspired to read stimulating, somewhat captivating, books.

An eye opener everyone must read., November 17, 2003
Reviewer: A reader from Pawling, NY United States
I knew nothing of this book except for the other reviews on Amazon when I purchased it and when it arrived I was kinda skeptical. I am pretty much a "Conspiracy Theorist" Collins talks about in his book but when I first opened it I must admit the appearance of the text was unorthodox. Quite frankly the book looks like a college term paper composed the day before it was due, double spaced in large font and full of quotes and parenthetical citations. But once i got reading I couldn't stop and I flew threw it in about an hour and then passed it on to some friends. The book reds more like an essay and really will open your eyes to many things most Americans would never be exposed to or otherwise pay attention too. The great thing is how Collins organized his information. Instead of just indicting the American government he uses excerpts and quotes from documents and novels to point out issues that are over looked. What really touched me was how Collins handled the Bush admistrations stance of bad mouthing those Americans who do not agree with how the war on terror is being fought and by claiming that anyone against the governemnts attempts to pass new laws granting them powers to avoid normal American procedures for the FBI and CIA. Collins ponts out how Americans concerned with the governments motives in seeking out these expanded powers are suspect to serious population control measures and shows how the government pins anyone who does question them as an actual terrorist themselves. This is important for everyone to note because as an American citizen we have the right to question our elected leaders and that does not mean we are for the enemy. Buy this book it will really make you think. I especially recommend this book to those who have rather sheltered lives or are not accustomed to reading about corruption of governemtns.

What's going on behind the so-called "War on Terrorism", May 8, 2003
Reviewer: A reader from Florida
If what Paul Collins has unearthed is true, it may not be long before we wake up in a police state. This book is definitely for listeners of the Alex Jones show and anyone who has read Gregory Palast's book.

Read about it in NEXUS Magazine. GREAT BOOK!, May 8, 2003
Reviewer: A reader from Medway, Ohio USA
I first discovered this book through an article over it in Nexus Magazine. Then, I got a copy and read it cover to cover! Paul Collins presents information of such importance that no concerned, freedom-loving American should ignore! ...
God bless America! Long live liberty!

Comprehensive, yet could go further., December 9, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from Florida
The author makes a solid case for his position, citing historic cases and numerous overlooked facts surrounding acts of terrorism.
What is especially impressive is the fact that the book does not assume the positions of either the left or right wing, remaining non-partisan in approach. For instance, the author cites the Northwoods Project as an act of state-sanctioned terrorism. This would be a veritable gem to those on the left who unfairly scorn the cause of anti-communism. Collins, however, makes it clear that the revelation of Northwoods does not exonerrate the despot Castro.
Meanwhile, Collins gives no slack to the so-called right-wing either. He shows cases where anti-communism, initially sincere cause of anti-totalitarianism, was exploited by the power elite to create a politically expedient external threat to the United States. This is especially evident in the case of Bin Laden and his supposedly anti-Soviet forces. Under the banner of anti-communism, the oligarchs of the American Establishment funded Bin Laden and made him the threat he is today.
The overall contention is that Hegelian framework of left vs. right is a swiftly vanishing chimera, a fairy tale.
The one reservation I have with the book is that it simply does not go as far as it could. There are a lot more government ties to terrorism, such as the United States aiding and abetting anti-Castro rebels here in the United States. After it became clear that America was not going to employ the rebels in a genuine campaign against Castro, the government used them to perpetrate numerous other acts of terror.
Still, the book is very well researched and is very important in understanding current events.
