Finally, the answer to the question people have asked since 9/11: "How DID the terrorists enter the United States?"


Before 19 hijackers could commit the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, they passed through U.S. border security 68 times. In all, they had 25 contacts with consular officers and 43 contacts with immigration and customs authorities—none of whom suspected they were al Qaeda operatives.


This book includes the complete staff report Time.com called "tantalizing and important" and represents important investigative work by the staff, providing substantial information and analysis not fully represented in The 9/11 Commission Report.


Now for the first time in book form, this report includes:
  • Full color digital images of the travel documents used by the 9/11 hijackers
  • A chronology of the 9/11 terrorist travel operation and the hijackers' contacts with U.S. border officials
  • Complete, highly descriptive endnotes
  • Detailed appendices

About the author

THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON TERRORIST ATTACKS UPON THE UNITED STATES, commonly known as the 9/11 Commission, was an independent, bipartisan commission established on November 27, 2002, by President George W. Bush and the United States Congress. It is the author of the final report published in July 2004.

The Commission was chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks, and to provide recommendations to guard against future threats. It was chaired by former New Jersey Governor Thomas H. Kean, with former Indiana Congressman Lee H. Hamilton serving as Vice Chair, and Philip D. Zelikow as Executive Director. The Commission closed on August 21, 2004.
