About this listen

A remarkable analysis linking the assassination of JFK and 9/11, and how both events were used to influence war policy. Peter Dale Scott examines the many ways in which war policy has been driven by “accidents” and other events in the field, in some cases despite moves toward peace that were directed by presidents. This book explores the “deep politics” that exerts a profound but too-little-understood effect on national policy outside the control of traditional democratic processes.

An important analysis into the causes of war and the long-lasting effects that major events in American history can have on foreign and military policies, The War Conspiracy is a must-read book for students of American history and foreign policy, and anyone interested in the ways that domestic tragedies can be used to manipulate the country’s direction.

First published in 1972, this edition of The War Conspiracy is fully updated for the twenty-first century and includes two lengthy additional essays, one on the transition in Vietnam policy in the wake of the Kennedy assassination, and the other discussing the many parallels between that 1963 event and the attacks of 9/11.

Editor reviews

In The War Conspiracy, author Peter Dale Scott updates his original 1972 treatise on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to include newly conceived similarities with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as regards how both events immediately transformed the state of US foreign policy and military strategy.

Actor Noah Michael Levine performs with a strong, clear voice, which lends additional power to this fascinating work about the purposeful manipulation of public sentiment surrounding national tragedies, while Scott has a clear and authoritative tone which renders this work of political analysis a truly enjoyable and thought-provoking listen.

How America is really run.

What a fascinating and revealing book, it basically charts America's international depredations and explains through historical papers like The Pentagon Papers, what is really going on and who really pushes America into avoidable wars, from Eisenhower's presidency through to Nixon, Kennedy etc.
The final chapter lists commonalities between JFKs death and 9/11 and how the evidence was presented and manipulated.

interesting but need better editing

Could be a good factual book. but jumps all over diffrent timeliness as well as repeating its self in more than one part in the context of the information. so much I actually thought I had rewond a chapter.

Interesting up to a point

Some valid points that stronger editing would have assisted as the scope is very wide yet can get bogged down into rabbit holes that don’t help the overall flow
