The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot, and Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It

Description

The shocking investigation into the nearly five hundred terrorist cells existing in America today - now finally in paperback! In THE CELL, ABC's John Miller and veteran crime reporter Michael Stone narrate the behind-the-scenes story of the unfolding investigation into the World Trade Center attacks, from 1993 through to 2001 and beyond. Following a handful of key agents and detectives, they will not only describe the step-by-step process of identifying and linking up suspects, but the politics and pressures, the magnitude and feel of the greatest manhunt in the history of the world. Moreover, THE CELL will provide a much-needed look into the twilight universe where terrorist groups live and operate.

In 1998, he was one of the first ever western journalists to interview Osama Bin Laden. Michael Stone is a veteran crime journalist. Chris Mitchell is a senior editor at The Week.

"[The authors] bring high credibility to this streetwise, gritty police procedural... An important addition to the growing literature on al Qaeda." - NY Times Book Review "A riveting, frightening, and illuminating book." - Boston Globe
