TURNING POINT: The Hijacking Of A Nation: Al-Qaeda, the Nineteen, and the Twenty-Five-Year Reckoning With September 11 - Softcover
Synopsis
On a clear Tuesday morning in September, nineteen men boarded four aircraft carrying nothing but box cutters, a five-page prayer, and a plan two years in the making. By 10:30 a.m., two towers were gone, the Pentagon was burning, and a field in rural Pennsylvania held the wreckage of a fourth flight that never reached its target, because forty passengers did the arithmetic of their own deaths and chose to act anyway.
This is not another retelling of the morning everyone thinks they remember. Turning Point goes back further and stays longer than the headlines ever did, into the Peshawar guesthouses where al-Qaeda was built, the Hamburg mosque where four ordinary students became pilots, and the flight schools where instructors waved off warning signs that, in hindsight, could not have been louder. It follows the money, the missed memos, and the eighteen-month gap between the CIA identifying two future hijackers and the FBI being told to look for them.
And it keeps going, past the collapse, past the war, past the PATRIOT Act and Guantanamo Bay, to a courtroom that, twenty-five years later, still has no verdict. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-described architect of the attacks, has now spent more time in American custody awaiting trial than most of his victims spent alive. His case has survived four presidents, a revoked plea deal, and a split appellate ruling, and it is still not over.
Built entirely from the 9/11 Commission Report, declassified cables, court filings, and Senate investigations, Turning Point is the story of how one morning produced a war that outlasted a generation, a surveillance state that never fully receded, and a legal case that America still cannot close.
How does a nation still not have a verdict, twenty-five years later? Turn the page and find out exactly where it went wrong.
