[4] of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE </b><br> <b> </b><br> For most living Americans, September 11, 2001, is the darkest date in the nation's history. But what exactly happened on 9/11? Could it have been prevented? And what remains unresolved? Here is the first panoramic, authoritative account of that tragic day--from the first brutal actions of the hijackers to our government's flawed response; from the untruths told afterward by U.S. officials to the "elephant in the room" of the 9/11 Commission's report--the clues that point to foreign involvement. <i>New York Times</i> bestselling authors Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan write with access to thousands of recently released official documents, raw transcripts, fresh interviews, and the perspective that can come only from a decade of research and evaluation. Riveting, revelatory, and thoroughly sourced, <i>The Eleventh Day</i> is updated for this edition--with new reporting on a development that the former cochairman of Congress's 9/11 probe calls the most important in years. <p/> This is the essential one-volume work, required reading for us all. <p/> <b>"Essential."--<i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>"Meticulous, comprehensive . . . an extraordinary synthesis."--John Farmer, 9/11 Commission senior counsel</b> <p/> <b>"This wide-angle look . . . examines the personalities behind the terror plot, U.S. intelligence blunders, the toxic environmental impact on first responders, the march to war, [and] gray areas in the 9/11 Commission Report."--<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>"The best available general account of 9/11--soberly written, judiciously weighed, meticulously sourced."--<i>The Sunday Times</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Essential."--<i>The Wall Street Journal</i> <p/> "Meticulous, comprehensive . . . an extraordinary synthesis."--John Farmer, 9/11 Commission senior counsel <p/> "This wide-angle look . . . examines the personalities behind the terror plot, U.S. intelligence blunders, the toxic environmental impact on first responders, the march to war, [and] gray areas in the 9/11 Commission Report."--<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/> "The best available general account of 9/11--soberly written, judiciously weighed, meticulously sourced."--<i>The Sunday Times</i> <p/> "A sweeping report on the Saudis' broad involvement in the 9/11 attacks."--<i>Vanity</i> <i>Fair</i> <p/> "Tick-tock journalism . . . a micro-feel for a macro-event."--<i>The Star-Ledger<br></i><br>"Stunning . . . retells [the] events with unbridled drama."--<i>Boston Sunday Globe</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anthony Summers</b> is the award-winning author of seven bestselling nonfiction books.
