Perfect Soldiers: The 9/11 Hijackers: Who They Were, Why They Did It by Terry McDermott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A well-reported & written book about the 9/11 plot and how it developed. Gives good background on all 19 hijackers who carried out the 9/11 attack, though the main focus is on the 4 "pilots" and on KSM, who was the mastermind behind the plot. There is also good historical background on Islamic extremism as it developed over the years through the aegis of people like Osama bin Laden/al Qaeda & the key leaders he worked with over the years. Thanks, Dylan, for the birthday present!
