The New Pearl Harbor

The cover of The New Pearl Harbor, published in 2004 by David Ray Griffin

The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 (2004) is a book written by David Ray Griffin, a retired professor of philosophy at the Claremont School of Theology. It draws analogies between the September 11 attacks and the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The title is taken from the 2000 paper "Rebuilding America's Defenses" produced by the Project for the New American Century, which asserted that only a "new Pearl Harbor" would enable the military and defense policy transformations the group desired to rapidly take place.[1]

The book was included in the official selection of 99 books made available to all members of 9/11 Commission[2] and was found on Osama bin Laden's bookshelf during the raid.[3]
