Reading picks on 9/11 / terrorism?

[chipmunk stew]

I'm going to be involved in a tedious data processing project soon and will be looking for something to occupy my mind. I'm looking for recommendations for good books that I can download from audible.com about 9/11 and/or Islamic terrorism. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if it's on Audible or not, but I recently read "103 Minutes" by Jim Dyer and Kevin Flynn.

It's a reconstruction of the events on 9/11 based on 100's of interviews with survivors, first responders, rescuers, etc.

Compelling stuff.

It's actually "102" minutes. (Now I feel pedantic for pointing that out, but it does make a difference if you're searching.)

Thanks.. yes .. "102 Minutes" - which is the amount of time from when the 1st drone hit the WTC til the remote demo thermate dropped the second tower at faster than freefall. ;-)

Sounds like just the type of thing I'm looking for. Thanks!

I ended up listening to The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror by Bernard Lewis, which I recommend highly.

It's an even-handed history and thoughtful analysis of Islamic radicalism and puts to rest any notion that its rise can be blamed on the West.
