Review by Library Journal Review

The 9/11 commission, a bipartisan group appointed to trace the events of 9/11, exposes the planning, training, and strategies 19 hijackers used successfully to attack the United States. This is still one of the most important historical documents of its time. (A new edition is forthcoming: Philip D. Zelikow's The 9/11 Commission Report: The Attack from Planning to Aftermath.
