The 9/11 Tragedy: Official Story...or Inside Job? Find out in this startling analysis by a leading investigative journalist.
A Sobering Look at 9/11 as an Inside Job
The official story about 9/11 is discredited. That is the sobering conclusion reached by millions of Americans, all across the political spectrum, who have sifted through the evidence uncovered by hundreds of independent researchers. Many honest citizens are now forced, with sadness and reluctance, to make an almost unthinkable inference:
Powerful US officials must have had foreknowledge of the planned attacks, and then acted from the inside to: thwart efforts to prevent 9/11, remove or cover up criminal evidence, and hamper inquiries into what happened.
Were the horrific events of September 11, 2001 truly an inside job? This book will help you decide for yourself. In this work, world-renowned conspiracy theorist Jim Marrs makes a compelling case that 9/11 marks the intersection of several conspiracies at once, each based on overlapping political agendas. Support for his thesis comes from this sampling of the many disturbing anomalies, cited by Marrs:
• Standard air defense mechanisms systematically failed, simultaneously.
• Interceptor jets were scrambled too late, too slowly, and from the wrong locations.
• President Bush proceeded with a "photo op" long after he knew we were under attack.
• Fires could not have caused the free-fall collapse of the World Trade Center towers.
• The collapse of Building 7 in the complex was later admitted to be a demolition.
• Vital physical evidence was either removed or has never been released to investigators. • Key officials claimed warnings never came, despite massive evidence to the contrary.
Inside Job is the definitive journalistic account of the hidden role of the Bush administration in failing to prevent the 9/11 attacks. The author provides heavy documentation of his findings, plus extensive appendices that include perspectives from families of 9/11 victims, and excerpts from the RICO Act lawsuit filed by 9/11 widow Ellen Mariani.
A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Mr. Marrs earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the University of North Texas in 1966 and attended Graduate School at Texas Tech in Lubbock for two years more. He has worked for several Texas newspapers, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where beginning in 1968 he served as police reporter and general assignments reporter covering stories locally, in Europe and the Middle East. After a leave of absence to serve with a Fourth Army intelligence unit during the Vietnam War, he became military and aerospace writer for the newspaper and an investigative reporter. Since 1980, Mr. Marrs has been a free-lance writer, author and public relations consultant. He also published a rural weekly newspaper along with a monthly tourism tabloid, a cable television show and several videos.
Since 1976, Mr. Marrs has taught a course on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy at the University of Texas at Arlington. In 1989, his book, Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, was published to critical acclaim and reached the New York Times Paperback Non-Fiction Best Seller list in mid-February 1992. It became a basis for the Oliver Stone film JFK. Mr. Marrs served as a chief consultant for both the film's screenplay and production.
Beginning in 1992, Mr. Marrs spent three years researching and completing a non-fiction book on a top-secret government program involving the psychic phenomenon known as remote viewing only to have it mysteriously canceled as it was going to press in the summer of 1995. Within two months, the story of military-developed remote viewing broke nationally in the Washington Post after the CIA held a press conference revealing the program but putting their own spin on psychic studies.
In May, 1997, Marrs' in-depth investigation of UFOs, Alien Agenda, was published by HarperCollins Publishers. Mr. Marrs has been a featured speaker at a number of national conferences including the Annual International UFO Congress and the Annual Gulf Breeze UFO Conference. Publisher's Weekly described Alien Agenda as "the most entertaining and complete overview of flying saucers and their crew in years." The paperback edition was released in mid-1998 and has since become the best-selling UFO book ever in the United States. Beginning in 2000, he began teaching a course on UFOs at the University of Texas at Arlington.
In early 2000, HarperCollins published Rule by Secrecy, which traced the hidden history that connects modern secret societies to the Ancient Mysteries. In 2003, his book The War on Freedom probed the conspiracies of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath.
An award-winning journalist, Mr. Marrs is listed both in Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in America. Mr. Marrs has won several writing and photography awards including the Aviation/Aerospace Writer's Association's National Writing Award and Newsmaker of the Year Award from the Fort Worth Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. In 1993, Mr. Marrs received Freedom Magazine's Human Rights Leadership Award.
Mr. Marrs has appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, CSPAN, the Discovery, Learning and History Channels, This Morning America, Geraldo, Montell Williams, Today, Tech TV and The Larry King and Art Bell radio programs along with numerous national and regional radio and TV shows. He is a former president of the Press Club of Fort Worth and a current member of the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, and the Investigative Reporters and Editors.
不得不说,这本书的封面设计简直是败笔中的战斗机。当我第一次在书店看到它时,那种俗套的、廉价的排版,让我几乎错过了这部佳作。然而,一旦翻开,那种强烈的代入感瞬间将我俘获。情节推进的速度非常惊人,几乎没有冗余的描写,每一句话似乎都在为下一个爆炸性的事件做铺垫。我特别佩服作者对于悬念设置的把控力,那种“在最后一刻才揭示真相”的手法,虽然老套,但在这本书里执行得非常出色,让人手心冒汗。我为了知道一个角色的真实动机,连续熬了两个通宵。唯一的遗憾是,我认为最后高潮部分的冲突解决得稍微有些仓促和巧合,似乎为了赶上既定的篇幅,草草收场,让前面积累的巨大张力没有得到完全释放,像是一个被突然剪断的橡皮筋,回弹的力道不足。
评分这本书给我带来的最深刻的体验是关于“信任”这个主题的颠覆。它挑战了我们对传统权威和既定叙事的固有认知。作者通过一系列精心设计的反转,不断地在读者和叙述者之间建立又摧毁信任关系,让你始终处于一种“我到底该相信谁”的迷茫状态。这种叙事上的不稳定感,恰恰是这部作品的精髓所在。我喜欢它那种近乎残忍的诚实,它不避讳展示人性的幽暗面,将那些藏在光鲜外表下的丑陋与贪婪毫不留情地剖开。虽然某些段落的道德探讨略显沉重,甚至有些令人沮丧,但正是这种对现实的深刻反思,让这部作品超越了普通的小说范畴,更像是一份对当代社会病态的辛辣诊断书。我需要一些时间来消化其中的复杂情绪,它不是那种读完后会让你感到轻松愉快的书,但绝对是能留下印记的。
评分读完这本书,我脑海里留下的是一片斑斓而又混乱的色彩,仿佛置身于一场光怪陆离的梦境之中。作者的文字功底毋庸置疑,她似乎拥有将最平淡无奇的场景也描绘得诗意盎然的魔力。比方说,对那个阴郁小镇的刻画,那种潮湿、腐朽的气息,简直要从纸上渗出来,让人忍不住打寒颤。然而,故事的主线在哪里?我花了大量时间试图梳理出一条清晰的脉络,但它更像是一张巨大的蜘蛛网,每个节点都连接着另一个看似不相关的点,最终指向的似乎是一个模糊的哲学命题,而不是一个明确的结论。这种开放式的结局,对于喜欢一切尘埃落定的读者来说,可能会是种折磨。我更倾向于那些能提供某种程度慰藉或明确答案的故事,而这本书,它只是抛出了一堆问题,然后轻描淡写地把笔一收,留给读者自己去消化那些未尽之言。这种“艺术性”的表达,有时真是让人又爱又恨。
评分这本书给我的感觉,更像是一次高强度的智力体操。它绝不是那种可以轻松翻阅,让你在沙发上打发时间的消遣读物。里面的专业术语和背景知识量大得惊人,涉及金融、情报分析乃至一些晦涩的历史事件,作者显然是做了极其深入的研究。每一次阅读,都像是在进行一场知识的考古发掘,需要不断地查阅资料来佐证书中的论断。我欣赏这种严谨的态度,它为故事的真实性提供了坚实的骨架。但是,这种信息密度有时也成了阻碍。在一些关键的情节转折点,我感觉自己被海量的信息流冲垮了,以至于错过了角色之间微妙的眼神交流或潜台词,这让我感觉像是错过了电影中一个重要的蒙太奇镜头。如果作者能更巧妙地将这些知识点“编织”进对话和行动中,而不是直接“倾倒”出来,阅读体验会提升一个档次。
评分这本书的叙事节奏真是让人抓狂,一开始还以为是那种沉稳的慢热型,结果情节像脱缰的野马,毫无预兆地就飙到了高潮,然后又戛然而止,留下了一堆让人摸不着头脑的线索。作者对人物心理的刻画,尤其是那种在巨大压力下人性的扭曲和挣扎,描绘得入木三分,读起来让人感觉像是亲身经历了一场煎熬。我特别喜欢其中关于权力斗争的那部分描写,那种表面平静下暗流涌动的紧张感,隔着书页都能感受到那种令人窒息的压迫。不过,坦白说,中间有几章的处理显得有些刻意,为了制造悬念而制造悬念,逻辑链条在某些地方有些生硬,得反复琢磨才能勉强接上作者的思路,这多少影响了阅读的流畅性。总的来说,这是一部野心勃勃的作品,试图探讨的议题很宏大,但执行上,尤其是在细节打磨上,还有提升的空间。我期待看到作者在后续作品中如何驾驭如此复杂的人物关系和多线叙事。
