Investigates the American government's understanding of and response to 9/11, exposing the official story - and the resulting global War on Islamic Terror - as based on myth and misinformation. This book argues that Bin Laden's role in various terrorist activities has been grossly exaggerated.A searing critique of the myths behind America's "War on Terror" that shows it to be baseless, ineffective, and harmful.
"A counterblast to the conventional wisdom and mythologized history of Al-Qaeda that dismantles taken-for-granted assumptions." Michael Levi, criminology, Cardiff University "This book is terrific!" The Globe and Mail "Satanic Purses provides a fascinating perspective on the war on terror." Maclean's "Transcending conventional misunderstandings, Naylor shows how some of our policies are built on a thin patch of ice. Irreverent and satirical in tone, his book is a counter-balance to too much that is taken for granted - even by many who should know better." Nikos Passas, College of Criminal Justice, Northeastern University
