The 9/11 Commission Report

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 left Americans wondering how such a breach of security could have occurred. Ernest R. May was Senior Advisor to the 9/11 Commission and his book provides students with a first-hand account of the commission's methods and actions. His introduction describes the drafting process and the collaboration of the commissioners despite the bitter political divisions surrounding them. The report itself has been carefully abridged for the classroom while preserving the essence of the complete version.
