My 9/11 Timeline is coming out as a Harper Collins book in two weeks!

Hi,

Some of you may know me as the person who's put the online 9/11 Timeline (www.complete911timeline) together and posts here about 9/11 from time to time. I'm proud to annouce that my timeline work will be coming out as a Harper Collins book soon. September 7, in fact. It's going to be called The Terror Timeline (not my choice for a title, but what can you do).

You can order it here (through my website):

http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/911_terror_timeline_by_paul_thompson.jsp

or here (Barnes and Noble):

Here's a blurb about it:

A comprehensive timeline of the terrorist plots against the United States-before, during, and after 9/11.

Since late 2001, the Center for Cooperative Research has sponsored the most exhaustive and detailed research project currently in the process on major events in the public eye. In July 2002, activist and freelance researcher Paul Thompson posted his 9/11 Timeline on the site, and it has been recognized by the media as an indispensable resource ever since. In The Terror Timeline, Thompson offers the first complete, book-length reference guide to the 9/11 attacks and the years of terrorist activity-and governmental neglect-that preceded them (and followed them). The Terror Timeline also includes the most thorough minute-by-minute account of the day of 9/11 ever collected in one place.

Here's what some people have to say about it (this is from the back cover):

“THE TERROR TIMELINE is a tremendous resource that will give readers a truly independent means of judging our government in its errant conduct of the war on terror.”
— PETER LANCE, author of Cover Up and 1000 Years for Revenge

“A spectacular resource that is an essential tool for anyone who is truly interested in understanding the events leading up to 9/11.”
— CRAIG UNGER, author of the House of Bush, House of Saud

“This is the basic book on 9/11. Paul Thompson's work tells what happened that day, tracing the events leading up to the attack, and what has transpired since. After years of self-serving reports by ineffectual politicians in Washington, there is at last an independent report, based entirely on publicly known facts, that is thorough and reliable. Read it and decide for yourself whether there was a cover-up. It is truly remarkable. Thank God there are people like Thompson.”
—JAMES RIDGEWAY, author of The March to War

"Paul Thompson's Timeline has served as the definitive source for any researcher attempting to penetrate the mysteries of 9/11. This book effect a major change in the course of U.S. history.”
— PETER DALE SCOTT, author of Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Columbia, and Indochina

And here's what the Jersey Girls say about it (this appears near the front of the book):

“Paul Thompson’s exhaustive and richly detailed research has now provided the world with a veritable treasure trove of 9/11 information. If you want to know everything about 9/11, you must
read this book. If you want to better understand 9/11, you must read this book. Our intelligence agencies should be recruiting people like Paul Thompson, because he’s brilliant.”

—KRISTEN BREITWEISER, co-chair, September 11th Advocates; member,
Family Steering Committee; and wife of Ronald M. Breitweiser, WTC Tower Two

“Having lost loved ones on 9/11, we had the passion and drive to research and follow through with our quest for answers, but until we stumbled across Paul Thompson’s exquisitely detailed and well-sourced timeline on the Internet, much of the information that we found out about the events surrounding 9/11 were out of context or unverifiable. Paul’s timeline gave us a much-needed measure of clarity when our lives were filled with ambiguities.

—PATTY CASAZZA , co-chair, September 11th Advocates; member,
Family Steering Committee; and wife of John Casazza, WTC Tower One

“Paul Thompson’s timeline is an invaluable tool and a must read for anyone who really wants to understand the events of 9/11. One can only hope that the 9/11 Independent Commission’s report, with its unprecedented access to millions of documents, is as detailed and thorough as this citizen’s account is. If the many questions raised by this book are ever answered, it would go a long way toward making us all safer.

—MINDY KLEINBERG, co-chair, September 11th Advocates; member,
Family Steering Committee; and wife of Alan Kleinberg, WTC Tower One

“For all of us who lost our loved ones on 9/11, and for anyone who seeks the truth about what happened on that awful September day, Paul Thompson’s timeline is where all research into the subject should begin. I am eternally grateful for Paul’s meticulous work and have referred to Thompson’s timeline since the beginning of my quest for answers into my husband Ken’s death. Thank you, Paul.”

—LORIE VAN AUKEN, co-founder, September 11th Advocates; member,
Family Steering Committee; and wife of Kenneth Van Auken, WTC Tower One

I hope everyone here at DU buys a copy. ;) It's my first book. I never would have imagined I would be an author (and I didn't try contacting publishers - the opportunity sort of appeared out of the blue), but this project seems to have taken a life of its own. I hope in some small way this can help influence the election, if I can get a few people to see that 9/11 was Bush's greatest failure, not his greatest triumph. Maybe this book can help 9/11 skepticism go mainstream.

I'll be coming to NYC and possibly other cities in September to promote the book, and I hope to meet some of you in person.
