Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11
Gerald Posner
The story of the years leading up to 9/11 is the story of what might have been, and also serves as a call to the defense of America’s future. Since 9/11, one important question has persisted: What was really going on behind the scenes with intelligence services and government leaders during the time preceding the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks?
After an eighteen-month investigation that uncovered explosive new evidence through interviews and in classified documents, Gerald Posner reveals much previously undisclosed information:
- the identity of two countries that might have had foreknowledge that a terrorist attack was scheduled for September 11 on U.S. soil
- a startling account of the interrogation of a leading al Qaeda captive
- facts about a series of deaths that point to an ongoing conspiracy by some governments to hide the extent of their earlier relationships with al Qaeda
- how the U.S. government missed several chances to kill or capture bin Laden
- evidence that German intelligence may have protected an informant who was involved with many of the 9/11 plotters

Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK
Gerald Posner
The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, continues to inspire interest ranging from well-meaning speculation to bizarre conspiracy theories and controversial filmmaking. But in this landmark book, reissued with a new afterword for the 40th anniversary of the assassination, Gerald Posner examines all of the available evidence and reaches the only possible conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. There was no second gunman on the grassy knoll. The CIA was not involved. And although more than four million pages of documents have been released since Posner first made his case, they have served only to corroborate his findings. Case Closed remains the classic account against which all books about JFK’s death must be measured.
