Every September, I read abook about the 9/11 terrorism attacks. I got this one on sale as a Kindle book, and decided it would be this year's book.

This was published in 2014, and includes information that was not available for books written earlier. It draws upon the results of the various investigations made related to the 9/11 attacks in general, and Flight 93 in particular. We learn more about how the terrorist attacks were planned. We also learn about the souls who were on the plane, and about the aftermath of the Flight 93 crash; also, it details the planning and construction of the Flight 93 Memorial in rural Somerset County, PA.

I had a few minor annoyances with the book relating to the unnecessary repetition of some pieces of information. Overall, though, I thought this was an excellent account of what happened, as best as anyone can know.

The book was written so that the average reader should be able to follow the narrative easily; there are extensive source notes, a bibliography, and an index at the end of the book.
