In 2004, David Ray Griffin's landmark book The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 was published. It became a founding text of the 9/11 truth movement, presenting what was then the most thorough critique of the official story available. As new developments occured, Griffin continually brought the discussion up to date in his subsequent books, including The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions (2005), Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory (2007), and 9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press (2008). Now The New Pearl Harbor Revisited synthesizes the most important points of these previous studies and includes Griffin's chapter by chapter commentary, which updates that earlier discussion with everything that has come to light since, including the most recent developments.

David Ray Griffin is professor of philosophy of religion and theology, emeritus, at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California, where he remains a co-director of the Center for Process Studies.
