If you're Investigating 9/11 for yourself then this book will help you find your way to truth.
If not only gives you the times and all details about everything that took place that day, but backs them up with sources AND gives more than one in alot cases.
Reading this will definately make you ask questions, and when you ask them, demand answers!

Well, if you've read anything at all that is skeptical of the official account of what happened on September 11, 2001, it is extremely likely that one of the primary sources for what you read is Paul Thompson's "Timeline." David Ray Griffin draws on it extensively, and so does pretty much everybody else. This is just indispensable raw source material. I find it more useful as a reference book, i.e., to go back in and check facts pertaining to a particular aspect of 9/11, than as the sort of book you sit down and read from front to back -- although it could certainly be read that way. If you're new to the topic, I'm not sure I'd recommend this one as the place to start. It succeeds spectacularly in its aim, to lay out the rich tapestry of the various contradictory claims and facts and let them speak for themselves, but I imagine it would be somewhat harder to assimilate for a beginner than something with more of a narrative -- more of an "argument."
Thompson deliberately shies away from suggesting "inside job" or indeed from providing much speculation about answers at all. His value is in raising the questions, pointing out the screaming inconsistencies, contradictions, incompatibilities, hot loose ends -- the things that absolutely must be explained if we are to consider that we know what happened, never mind why. And many of these questions -- most of them -- have not been answered. They have been, in all the official channels, ignored. These questions are not going away, they're too important and too glaring. If enough people become curious about them and demand answers, who knows, perhaps we could get some. Stranger things have happened.
As Donald Rumsfeld once said, there's things you know you know, things you know you don't know, and things you don't know you don't know. Make the effort to know what you don't know. Subject what you "know" to critical scrutiny. If you have any interest in 9/11 at all, even -- or especially -- if you think the "9/11 Truth" movement deserves nothing but derision -- then you owe it to yourself, and I daresay to others, to ensure that your opinion is informed. This book will help.

Read it and make up your own mind - then get mad.
9 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
This book is a number of things. First, it is an exhaustive work of scholarly research with enough footnotes to satisfy and then some. To get a feel for what I am talking about one may view his work in an online version at www.cooperativeresearch.org. The shear academic quality is enough reason to buy the book.
Second, the website mentioned is a relatively new phenomena in that it is an "open source" research site. Mr. Thompson's work has been posted for comment and criticism for several months now and has been honed to a fine edge.
And third, this book is the scariest piece of work you will ever read. I'm not kidding you. This is scarey stuff. We've been treated like a bunch of sheep being led to the slaughter. There was an old sci-fi film where the aliens came down and presented humanity with a book "The Serving of Humans" or something similar. As the protagonists are boarding the ship to go visit the alien homeworld, a translator bursts in and yells out "It's a cookbook!"
That's the feeling you come away with here. You wont put it down but don't expect to enjoy it. But for goodness sake, read it.

The Indispensable 9/11 Resource
16 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
Thompson's 9/11 timeline has long been the indispensable resource for those doing serious research into 9/11. But it has also served as an excellent introduction into problems with the official story. It does this simply by showing discrepancies between this story and hundreds of stories in the mainstream press (to which Thompson restricts himself). My own work on the subject began, for example, by studying the material provided by Thompson, and this material has remained my primary resource.
It is great that this magnificent labor of love--love for the truth--is now available in book form, so that it is far more widely accessible. The Terror Timeline, furthermore, is not simply the material that was previously available on the Internet. Rather, Thompson made many last-minute additions, responding in particular to reports by the 9/11 Commission.
One can never know, of course, what the effect of a book will be. But my guess is that if people begin reading The 9/11 Commission Report in conjunction with Thompson's book, the Report will start getting fewer 5-star and far more 1-star reviews.

The 9/11 Commission should be ashamed.
14 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
After comparing the facts revealed in Paul Thompson's Terror Timeline to those released in the 9/11 Commission's Final Report, I was forced to draw the conclusion that the Commission is guilty of issuing an incomplete and misleading account of the events leading up to, the causes of, and the actions during 9/11. Whether it be the dozens of specific warnings or the obstructions into FBI investigations; the ISI's complicity or the ignored money trail; the 9/11 war games or the unprecedented failure to defend America's skies; they are just a few of the dozen or so subjects that the 9/11 Commission consciously ignored; and they are critical, not just for the public's, but for history's understanding of the attacks. As long as we continue to ignore the problems that caused 9/11, we will be unable to correct them. I urge anybody and everybody -- especially my fellow Americans -- to read this book and spread the information it provides.
