What would you consider to be a more definitive account than Wright's?

And please include your reasons in this recommendation. I will expect a volume with more interviews, at the very least, from a person fluent in Arabic and who conducted the interviews himself, just as Wright did.

And it should be a more recognized volume by experts, and it needs to have won a few more prizes than Looming Tower:

* Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction (2007)
* PEN USA Award for Research Nonfiction (2007)
* National Book Award Nominee (2007)
* Lionel Gelber Prize (2007)
* J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize (2007)
* Los Angeles Times Book Festival Award for History (2006)
* Carr P. Collins Award for Nonfiction (2007)
* Investigative Reporters and Editors Medal (2006)
* New York Public Library Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism (2007)

I await your recommendation with great anticipation.
