Paul Thompson's The Terror Timeline offers a complete and thorough
history of the many roads that converged on 9/11, including the
development of Islamic fundamentalism, the activities of bin Laden and
al-Qaeda, and the failures of U.S. investigations and counterterrorism
efforts. It traces the actions (and inactions) of every important figure
in the war on terror, both before and after 9/11, bringing them together
in a volume that offers a comprehensive and provocative look at this
complex subject. Packed with little-known facts and disturbing
questions, The Terror Timeline is the first complete reference guide
to the events of 9/11 and the war on terror -- the definitive primer on
the most momentous issue of our times.
