I would like opinions on the best book(s) you have read on 9-11. I am looking for something historically accurate, but also engaging. Something along the lines of a modern Walter Lord's "A Night To Remember" except dealing with 9-11. Thoughts anyone? TIA
The Looming Tower. Outlines the development of the jihad movement through to Al Quadah and Taliban. Excellently researched.
The Looming Tower, definitely. Much more in depth with regard to the terrorism aspect of September 11 than the 9/11 Commission report. However, the 9/11 Commission Report provides more insight into the federal government's structure at the time of the attack than the Looming Tower does, so consider that one, as well, for communications failures between local, state, regional, and national entities.
"The Looming Tower" is the one and only book to read about Al Quaeda and the path to 9/1ll!!!!!
Brilliant!
