“A provocative ‘alternative’ history now pushing its way into the mainstream as a result of several events, including America’s wars in Vietnam and Iraq” (Howard Jones, author of Death of a Generation).

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.

“Convincing reasons to believe that the American public has for many decades been manipulated by ‘deep events,’ the most important of which have been the assassination of JFK and the attacks of 9/11.” —David Ray Griffin, author of Bush and Cheney

“Scott exposes an element in the American system of global power that poses an increasing threat to the victims of this system, the American people among them.” —Noam Chomsky, author of Requiem for the American Dream
