In November 2002 the united States Congress and President George W. Bush established the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks (also known as the 9/11 Commission), an independent, bipartisan panel assigned to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the September 11th attacks. The report follows the hijackers' journey into the U.S. and aboard the planes. The reactions on the day of the event are chronicled with the use of transcripts of cockpit voice recordings and detailed records from police and firefighters on the ground. The result is a compelling work of non-fiction, and arguably one of the most important historical documents of our time. In examining the intelligence failures and missteps that preceded the attacks, the Commission identifies the chilling lessons we learned as a nation and recommends safeguards against future attacks.
