The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report Of The National Commission On Terrorist Attacks Upon The United States (Authorized Edition)
Nearly three thousand people died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In Lower Manhattan, on a field in Pennsylvania, and along the banks of the Potomoc, the United States suffered the single largest loss of life from an enemy attack on its soil. In November 2002 the United States Congress and President George W. Bush established by law the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission. This independent, bipartisan panel was directed to examine the facts and circumstances surrounding the September 11 attacks, identify lessons learned, and provide recommendations to safeguard against future acts of terrorism. This volume is the authorized edition of the Commission's final report.

You might be wondering what this printing of the book includes versus the others, so I've decided to make up a little grocery list.1. This book isn't "authorized". That doesn't mean anything to me, but it might to you.2. This book is cheaper than the authorized paperback version by a few dollars (at MSRP at least).3. The book is physically smaller.4. The book includes about 70 pages of reporting and analysis by the New York Times, which the authorized version DOES NOT have.5. The book DOES NOT include the endnotes, whereas the authorized edition does. However, the superscript endnote references are still included in the text, and correspond to the endnotes section available on-line on the 9/11 Commission website.6. This version includes the Executive Summary. I am not certain whether the authorized edition includes this or not, but I believe not.You should be aware before buying either version of this report that the entire authorized edition of the text (including the executive summary and endnotes) is available for FREE on-line at the website for the 9/11 Commission. The only thing in this text that is not available on-line is the 70 pages of New York Times articles, which are (as far as I know) only available in this edition of the book.The report is generally very interesting to read. It's not as boring as you might be expecting it to be. Any American concerned at all with his government and the fate of his country would do well to read this.
If you're going to buy an edition of the 9/11 Commission Report, this is probably the one you should get.Here's why. You can download the whole report for free, in PDF format, from either the GPO or the website of the 9/11 Commission. That means you can read the whole thing on your computer without spending one red cent.The 'official', and more expensive, editions of the book don't include any text you don't get in the PDF version. This New York Times edition does; it opens with nearly seventy pages of articles from the Grey Lady (none, I think, written by Jayson Blair) about the formation and activities of the Commission.This edition doesn't include the endnotes, but it does include the superscripts that lead to the notes so that you can check them in the PDF files if you want to. If you're like me, when you sit down to read the report, you don't particularly want to flip back and look at the notes anyway; that's for later, if there's a point for which you want to check a source. And precisely because this edition doesn't include all those additional pages, it's easier to tote around for lunchtime reading.Of course, since the report itself isn't protected by copyright in the U.S. (it's a government work), you can pretty much do what you want with the free electronic version -- including printing it out. But the paper for that job will probably cost you more than the price of this edition, and the result won't be very handy to lug around with you.As for the report itself, well, I'm not going to review the content here. Just read it and make up your own mind; that's what we do here in America.
This product is perfectly what I thought it was and more. It is a very well put together report that has every officially known fact about 9/11. It is well written and formatted to be put in a book. It is a bit dry reading the entire report but I didn't exactly order this for it's page turning thrills. Please ignore reviews that are conspiracies or ones that say "boring" because you hopefully know what this book is. It is an official expert report that lives up to it's title and beyond.
We all knew about this report, but reading it drives it home. It is remarkably balanced, well written, and still relevant today. It doesn't try to sell much, just state the commission conclusions and the reasoning behind them. You can draw your own conclusions from the facts.
This book is a joke.. literally more money was spent on the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal than this actual report, look into it. It is so bad that the US government had to make ANOTHER attempt to explain the events of 9/11 called NIST. Complete garbage, don't spend your money on this book, you can find more useful information about 9/11 using Google.
9/11 is the worst terrorist attack ever done in US soil. It's a big shame that the commission investigating this is, instead of doing their work as expected, just sit there spending lots of money to produce a complete whitewash of this big tragedy in US history.There are just too many unanswered questions. And some even border to lying to the American public.One such example is the question of the involvement of foreign nation such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan with this attack. The evidence that traced Saudi's ambassador for america, Mr Bandar bin Sultan (or also known as Bandar Bush) wife's transferring money, supposedly to help a family with medical problem that end up in the hand of Mohammad Atta.Or testimony by officials that lead to these foreign nations government's involvement are being ignored, instead of being given a follow up to find whether they're telling a truth or not (which is very easy given today's technology, not to mention the amount of money at the commission disposal).This is not independent investigation. The keyword is not independent objective investigation, but more accurately bi-partisan politicized whitewash.Try read the book 9/11 Commission Report Omission and Distortions written by David Ray Griffin, and you will see all the things and evidences that this commission choose to ignore, Professor Griffin did a good job in dissecting the whole book and refuting what's wrong inside it.Good luck finding the truth.
