THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks

While few of us would tackle the printed version of the 9/11 CR, this production for readers on the go has emotional moments. The raw communications from civilians, operators, and firemen receive no elocution but paint chilling portraits. Five male narrators hustle their parts along, taking practiced turns at the one thousand Arabic names. The introduction lists the readers, but we guess who's who. To indicate a direct quotation, one voice receives an echo. The hundreds of abbreviations shouldn't be attempted in heavy traffic--in this report "GOP" means "Government of Pakistan." At less than five dollars for more than twenty hours, we thank the publisher for making this historic document so accessible.
