Description: What would have happened on September 11, 2001 if the first two hijacked airplanes had instead crashed into the White House and the U.S. Capitol, killing the President, Vice President, and almost all members of Congress? The Shadow Government would have taken control of the U.S. government. A paranoid fantasy, right? Wrong. The Shadow Government is fact, one of the most closely-held secrets of the U.S. government. Originally created to keep the federal government functioning in case of a surprise Soviet nuclear attack, the Shadow Government has mutated into an ominous threat to American civil liberties and democratic government.
