Some events are avoidable. Some are not. There are undercurrents in the unfolding scenario of socio-political events and socio-cultural climes, which intertwine to render some disasters inevitable. 9/11 was one such disaster. Even though I could see it coming I realize now there was nothing anyone could do to avoid it. There were several reasons that made the disaster of that fateful morning inevitable. As I began discussing my book with people, I realized most Americans did not want to know why nine-eleven happened. Perhaps it is yet too early to tell people why, and then maybe it is time these reasons are told. In any case, I decided to put the book up. I trust it helps people all over the world understand better, why things happen in this world the way they do. Written in a candid style, with a liberal sprinkling of humor where appropriate, the book would appeal to the layman and the scholar alike.
