Flight 93 is the heroic 9/11 story that inspired America and produced the Pentagon's "Let's Roll" recruiting slogan for the Iraq invasion. Brave passengers, enraged when they learned about the 9/11 events by phone, organized an attack that brought the plane down in rural Pennsylvania. It was the drama that powered America's war effort. But how much of the Flight 93 legend is truth, and how much wishful thinking or even propaganda? In a book that will shake believers and challenge the official account, Rowland Morgan compares the legend with the available evidence and finds much of it is wishful thinking or pure invention. Problems with the U.S. Air Force's failed intervention, the presence of hijackers, the passengers' phone calls, and the dramatic climax in the cockpit suggest a motive for war that is as much fiction as fact. Rowland Morgan's co-authored 9/11 Revealed rocked government circles in London and in Washington, where it was officially branded "misinformation" and subjected to a corporate media boycott. In Flight 93: the Inside Story, Morgan again shatters illusions and forces readers to re-examine the evidence.
So sad to see a fine book like this castigated to the junk heap by a lone reviewer who has an axe to grind. Obviously there is a very wide range of opinion out there about what happened on 9/11. A more fair reviewer would have noted that Rowland Morgan is an excellent writer and that in this important book he demonstrates a command of the facts about 9/11. While it is true that his book is probably not the best introduction -- for someone who knows nothing about 9/11 and is seeking a first book, it was never intended to be that. The book offers a focused account of one of the hijacked planes - Flight 93. Unlike the other reviewer, I am a skeptic myself, so I did not hold it against Morgan that he cannot hide his incredulity regarding the official version of events. In my opinion Morgan's strong views do not interfere with his presentation of the story, which is thorough and well done. Be forewarned, the book will challenge what you think you know about 9/11 --- on many points --- and is stongly recommended for this reason. We need more skeptical investigations like this one.
