The Eleventh Day

Description

'The best available account of 9/11 - soberly written, judiciously weighted, meticulously sourced' Robert Harris Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan have written the definitive account of 9/11. The shockwaves of the September 11, 2001 attacks in America reverberate to this day. Though Osama Bin Laden has been killed, questions remain. What exactly happened? Could 9/11 have been prevented? How and why did so much acrimony and misinformation arise from the ashes of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a quiet field in Pennsylvania? And what has yet to be revealed?The Eleventh Day, written with access to thousands of recently released official documents, is updated for this edition - and reports on a development which the former chairman of Congress' 9/11 probe describes as the 'most important in years'.

Anthony Summers is a writer, television producer and journalist. He worked for Granada TV's award-winning World in Action programme as well a journalist for the BBC. His bestselling books include Goddess (on the life of Marilyn Monroe), The Kennedy Conspiracy (winner of the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger), The Arrogance of Power (on J. Edgar Hoover), Honeytrap (on the Profumo scandal), The Files on the Tsar and Sinatra.

Fascinating... as well as putting a human face to all the people involved - victims and adversaries - it fills in the omissions (many of them deliberate) in the official version of events -- Paul Theroux Superb... A wholly absorbing and powerful narrative full of good sense, properly weighed facts and clear understanding -- Peter Hitchens * Daily Mail *
