"Oh my...we thought we knew all about the 9/11 commission but I sure didn't know the very significant role played by Philip Zelikow and his relationship with Karl Rove. I came away with a very changed (and negative) view of the major players in this report, including the two chairmen."

The Commission Listener Reviews
-
" This was very interesting and demoralizing. I read all but the last two chapters as it became increasingly clear that deception and blame on Capital Hill kept real fact finding from taking place. Left me wondering a lot about Condi Rice. "

" Great investigative work done by Shenon. Not a "conspiracy theory" book, yet corrects the innaccuracies of the 9/11 Commission Report. "
— James, 11/8/2013 -
" Requirement for class "
— Micky, 10/1/2013 -
" absorbing and demoralizing. i learned more about philip zelikow than i wish i knew, what an asshole. "
— Hillary, 8/24/2013 -
" Good at showing the politicization of the process, esp the White House's attempts to undermine the Commission at every turn. "
— John, 6/21/2013 -
" A compelling story by the author; the content was less easy to like; more signs of the decline of American democracy. "
— Marc, 6/26/2011 -
" Better than what I could have written... "
— Joshua, 9/23/2010 -
" Lots of details about who did or didn't do what. "
— Glen, 9/9/2010 -
" Well written and fascinating in its detail about the 9/11 commission. "
— doug, 12/13/2008 -
" Full and informative, but rare forme, I just ran out of steam. It may be Bushfailure-fatigue. How many such books can a person read in her lifetime? "
