Select Bibliography
In light of the sheer number of books about 9/11 and the continuing flow of new works, a bibliography related to the attacks feels incomplete by necessity and outdated the moment it’s published. Consider this a partial and somewhat idiosyncratic collection that ranges from essential materials read deeply and repeatedly during research on this book (e.g. 9/11 Commission Report, 102 Minutes) to more obscure works consulted out of a reporter’s healthy neurosis about not leaving too many stones unturned.
