The 9/11 Investigations: Staff Reports of the 9/11 Commission : Excerpts from the House-Senate Joint Inquiry Report on 9/11

Description:

"The 9/11 Investigations lifts the curtain on the top-secret investigations into the worst attack in American history. Here in one place is the information from both the 9/11 commission investigation, including twelve commission staff reports and testimony from fourteen key witnesses, and the House-Senate Joint Inquiry Report, distilled into a narrative. Former Newsweek editor Steven Strasser has combed through the investigative documents and extracted the most relevatory information about 9\11 itself - the al Qaeda plot, the terrorist attack, the emergency response - as well as insights into the inner workings of our government. A lead essay by Craig R. Whitney of the New York Times places the 9\11 investigation into a historical context and explores the political power plays that have affected the investigation's progress. Together, these documents and analyses provide an in-depth look at the how America has tried to deal with the impact of the 9\11 tragedy."--BOOK JACKET.
