Who Writes 9/11 Conspiracy Books?

My essay on 9/11 Conspiracy Theories elicited many comments, both pro and con. One mentioned 9/11 conspiracy books, wondering who wrote them. Surprisingly perhaps, many 9/11 conspiracy books have been published. While conducting research on more popular books, one author's name kept coming up: David Ray Griffin.

To date Mr. Griffin has written five books on 9/11 conspiracy theories - three on his own and two with co-authors. Before going into detail about who David Ray Griffin is, here's a sense of his work, promoting his take on the most devastating terrorist attack in American history and arguably the world. As we know, the 9/11 tragedy precipitated war in the Middle East, which is still being thunderously felt six years later.

1. Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory (Paperback - Mar 30, 2007)

Here Griffin tackles magazine Popular Mechanics.

An emeritus professor of theology with no previous interest in conspiracy theories, Griffin dedicated himself to the "9/11 truth" movement, a group committed to "exposing the falsity of the official theory about 9/11," and this book is a thorough, highly detailed attempt to do just that. As Griffin aptly notes, "the assumption that conspiracy theories are inherently irrational" has recently taken root in American culture, making any attack on the official government record instantly dismissible, but Griffin takes to the difficult task with solid reasoning and true zeal. - Excerpt from Publisher's Weekly

2. 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, Vol. 1 by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott (Paperback - Aug 23, 2006)

Here Griffin writes about those who are skeptical of "official theory."
