TEN DAYS IN SEPTEMBER
The Washington Post series "Ten Days in September" is a very compelling narrative of what the people at the top levels of our government did directly following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. While I wonder whether it's possible to write good history so shortly after the event, and while I also suspect that since the information comes from the key players and their notes, they probably glamorized and their own behavior somewhat (or at least left out anything that might have been less than flattering), it's still well worth a read. The authors are Dan Balz and Bob Woodward.
