Summary: "Wake Up America"
Comment: "1000 Years for Revenge" is the most rivetting, brillant work of investigative journalism that any reader could ever hope for. But it's more. It reads like the best of thrillers that makes it impossible to put down. The author, Peter Lance, it turns out is an award winning investigative journalist, who with unparalled skill methodically details a time line of astonishing revelations that expose the incredible and inexcusable bungling of our government, particluarly the FBI, that dates back to 1989 - 12 entire years - that allowed for the horror that each of us has suffered as a result of the two attacks on the World Trade Center. He reveals fact after astonishing fact that confirms this terrifying information by having uncovered volumes of declassified documents and conducted a staggering amount of probing interviews with key principals that confirm these terrible tragedies didn't have to happen. And he traces the events that offer proof of something worse - the FBI's attempts to cover up their mistakes, time after time after time. 9/11 didn't have to happen. Now more than ever, our national security is being compromised Mr. Lance reveals in a way that's more dangerous than ever before. To not read this book is to ignore a wake call that is nothing less than central to our survival.

Summary: Riveting; loaded with compelling, interconnected stories
Comment: Do you remember where you were on September 11th? If you do, then you were undoubtedly affected by the 14-year or so plot by Muslim extremists to rein terror on America. 1000 Years For Revenge follows the plot as if it were Osama and co's personal diary. Along the way, it exposes the bungling to blatant bureaucratic ignorance demonstrated by the FBI, which as told through a number of insiders, may have facilitated the tragedy on 9/11 among a myriad of other terrorist acts.
The book follows the trails and tribulations of FBI Agent Nancy Floyd, her inside man, Salem; the heroism of Firefighter Ronnie Bucca and his quest to put the pieces of the terrorist's plot together as an outsider; and Ramzi Yousef, or the "Mozart of Terror." The book follows the play by play of Yousef and his dealings with the men that strolled into America's backyard only to plan to destroy it's landmarks, it's infrastructure, and ultimately, it's people.
We all know the end of the story, but it's the events that lead up to 9/11 that Peter Lance is outlining for us here. In tremendous detail, which sometimes reads like a Hollywood cliffhanger, we learn about the countless FBI missteps, the cunningness of Osama, Yousef, and co., and the bravery and struggle of Floyd and Bucca. Honestly, I couldn't put the book down. In less than 24 hours, I was at page 300, in the middle of the DSS's capture of Yousef and his plans for fellow jihadists to fly jetliners into the Trade Center, the Pentagon, a nuclear facility, and even Sears Tower. I'm a slow reader too, so this was an accomplishment. The part that ties Terry Nichols into the mix, circumstantially, left me feeling a bit queasy and wanting to learn more.
In a nutshell, nearly two years after the attacks, as this 25 year old Brooklynite looks out his living room window at the spotlights that serve as a sobering memorial to where WTC once stood, I confess that this book has left me both frightened and satisfied. Frightened that in a mosque 5 minutes from my home, my neighbors could construct a plethora lethal plots that could have been hijacked a number of times by the FBI. Yet, at the same time, satisfied that America's collective gut feeling that "there is more than this terror mess than meets the eye" is laid out and documented by the extraordinary people that were the closest to this evil.
Just read the intro and you'll be hooked.
