www.independent inquiry.co.uk) and The War on Truth: 9/11, Disinformation and the Anatomy of Terrorism (Arris, Olive Branch, 2005). I teach undergraduate courses at the Department of International Relations, University of Sussex, Brighton, where I’m currently a PhD candidate. My research is about the relationship between European imperialism since the 15th century, and Western practices of violence and genocide. I’m also director of the Institute for Policy Research & Development, based in central London. My first book, The War on Freedom: How & Why America was Attacked, September 11, 2001, was an instant bestseller in the US, Germany and Italy, and won the latter’s Naples Prize. My 2nd book, Behind the War on Terror: Western Secret Strategy and the Struggle for Iraq, examines the role of energy in the pattern of Western interventionism in the Middle East since the collapse of the Ottomon Empire. My third book, The War on Truth, is my magnus opus on international terrorism. Shortly after its publication, I was fortunate enough to testify as an expert witness in US Congress about my research.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i></i>
