[1] There now exists thousands of books on this event which involved the hijacking of four planes by suicide bombers, who claimed to profess Islam, and their use as missiles (two in New York, and one in Washington, D.C.—the third was foiled and ended in a crash south of Pittsburgh), with devastating consequences, in terms of lives lost. Consequently, those who would like guidance on what to read about this event, its consequences, and its significance, will find the following books (but only when considered together) helpful: Ahmed (2005); Ahmed and Forst (2005); Anonymous (2004); Chermak, Bailey and Brown (2003); Dudziak (2003); Holbein (2005); McDermott (2005); Marlin (2004); Nguyen (2005); and Qureshi and Sells (2003).
