THE ELEVENTH DAY: THE FULL STORY OF 9/11 AND OSAMA BIN LADEN
Book ID/图书代码： 01240011B46455
English Summary/英文概要： Writing with access to thousands of recently released official documents, fresh interviews, and the perspective that can come only from a decade of research and reflection, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan deliver the first panoramic, authoritative look back at 9/11.
For most living Americans, September 11, 2001, is the darkest date in the nation’s history. What exactly happened? Could it have been prevented? How and why did so much acrimony and bad information arise from the ashes of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a quiet field in Pennsylvania? And what remains unresolved? What is certain: Discord and dissent continue to this day.
Beginning with the first brutal actions of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11, The Eleventh Day tracks the precise sequence of events and introduces the players: pilots, terrorists, the airliners’ passengers, and the innocents who died on the ground. Drawing on previously classified records and raw transcripts, Summers and Swan investigate the response of President Bush and the U.S. military that day, and the failure to intercept the hijacked airliners. They document the untruths told afterward by U.S. officials and, as a counterpoint, thoroughly consider the contentions of the “9/11 truth” movement.

911恐怖事件與賓拉登 背後的複雜權力糾葛及秘密內幕 911事件即將屆滿十年，但美國政府卻至今仍未能給予世人完整交待，而一份28頁的國會調查報告也遲遲尚未公開。

Awards/获奖情况：紐約時報暢銷作家 羅伯‧哈里斯(Robert Harris)推薦 Reviews
"The best available general account of 9/11--soberly written, judiciously weighed, meticulously sourced...They have performed the inestimable service of trawling the hundreds of thousands of pages of official evidence and assembling it into a compelling narrative. Anniversaries provide a useful moment to stand back and reflect: that is what this book enables one to do."---Bestselling author Robert Harris, in his review for The Sunday Times 羅伯‧哈里斯(Robert Harris)
"Meticulous...comprehensive and fair...Anthony Sumnmers and Robbyn Swan have produced an extraordinary synthesis of what is known about the 9/11 attacks."---John Farmer, 9/11 Commission senior counsel & former Attorney General of New Jersey
"The definitive book on 9/11...The Eleventh Day is like a carefully crafted map. Summers and Swan have drawn this map after poring through endless documents, interviewing countless witnesses, and researching the movements of the 19 attackers, bringing the facts together as never before. "---Jean Sasson, author of Growing Up Bin Laden 美國女記者作家 沙森
"The Eleventh Day is a game changer. It is the new definitive timeline for 9/11, a superb and detailed extension of the work of the 9/11 Commission and Congress’ Joint Inquiry. Anthony Summers’ and Robbyn Swan’s research and reporting is peerless in its depth, breadth and accuracy. Together, this experienced team has cleared the air of suspect research and speculation, an invaluable service to future researchers and historians."---Col. Miles Kara, professional staff, 9/11 Commission and Congress’ Joint Inquiry
"This is a powerful book, and it seems to me, the definitive account of 9/11--a fascinating narrative of the lead-up to the horrific event itself, and its complex aftermath as it reverberated politically and militarily. As well as putting a human face to all of the people involved--victims and adversaries--it fills in the omissions (many of them deliberate) in the official version of events. "---Paul Theroux
