In "The Eleventh Day," Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan unravel the complex web of events, decisions, and errors that culminated in the most devastating terrorist attack on American soil. With an unprecedented access to thousands of official documents, new interviews, and a decade of meticulous research, the authors present a panoramic and authoritative narrative of September 11, 2001. From the initial hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11 to the ensuing chaos and tragedy at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a quiet field in Pennsylvania, Summers and Swan offer a minute-by-minute account of the day that would forever alter the course of history. Beyond the immediate horrors of that fateful day, the book delves into the aftermath—examining the response of President Bush and the military, the intelligence failures that preceded the attacks, and the rampant misinformation that followed. The authors critically analyze the actions of the US government, the role of foreign nations, and the contentious theories of the 9/11 Truth movement, providing a comprehensive look at the unresolved questions and the ongoing discord. "The Eleventh Day" stands as a definitive work on the events of 9/11, offering readers a deeply researched and thought-provoking exploration of the attacks, their antecedents, and their lasting impact on the world.
