The War Conspiracy: JFK, 9/11, and the Deep Politics of War - Softcover
First published in 1972, this edition of THE WAR CONSPIRACY is fully updated for 2008, 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 9/11/01. 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 being directed by presidents. This book explores the "deep politics" which exerts a profound but too-little understood effect on national policy outside the control of traditional democratic processes.

About the Author:
Peter Dale Scott is a former Canadian diplomat and professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a poet and author who has published more than a dozen books and collections of poetry, many revolving around the self-coined concept of “deep politics.”
Review:
“Undoubtedly one of the most important overviews to date of the subterranean reaches of the US intelligence machine in Southeast Asia.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Peter Dale Scott is one of that tiny and select company of the most brilliantly creative and provocative political-historical writers of the last half century.” (Roger Morris, author and former National Security Council staffer)
“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)
