</p>The 9/11 Encyclopedia (Praeger Security International) Review
Both volumes of the 9/11 encyclopedia are excellent reference books for access to facts quickly and easily. I was personally impressed by the documents section and some of the rare documents printed in full. Document 30, the report of the joint inquiry staff by Eleanor Hill of the FBI investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui, explains the red tape that prevented the National Security Law Unit of the FBI from obtaining the proper search warrants that might have led to disruption of the plot. This was the first time I had ever studied this document in it's entirety and it's essential to understanding the breakdowns between our intelligence units and their counterparts at the FBI. Also, document 35, staff segment # 3 of the Aviation Security System, lays the groundwork for further study of the plot from the viewpoint of the plotters themselves. This 2004 annalist of all the components, the FFA's Office of Aviation Security and intelligence units give a clear picture of what happened, and more importantly, what we need to to fix it.Document 42, The Complete Confession of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed from March 7th 2007 is the most important document in the book, and in the entire chronology of the events of 9/11, the murder of Daniel Pearl, the Cole attack and Manila plot. It's good to have this for quick and easy reference as Mohammed's knowledge of insider information that only a plotter would know, basically closed a very long, tragic and complex case.
Well Done guide for the major events of that fateful day and the 4 year duration of the plot itself.
