Recensione:

“Smart and evocatively written . . . A narrative that takes on the frenetic pace of a spy thriller.”
–The New York Times Book Review

“EXPLOSIVE . . . A lean, lucid retelling of how the CIA, FBI, and U.S. leaders missed a decade’s worth of clues and opportunities that if heeded, Posner argues, might have forestalled the 9/11 terrorist attacks . . . It opens up more troubling questions about crucial U.S. allies that someone will now have to address.”
–Time

“A GODSEND . . . Posner has done an amazing job . . . laying out a complicated situation through dramatic narrative.”
–St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“AN EXPLOSIVE SCOOP . . . No question, 9/11 could and should have been prevented.”
–Austin American-Statesman

“RIVETING AND DISQUIETING.”
–The New York Times
