The Looming Tower
Very informative. Every American should read this book to get a better understanding of al Qaedi - who they are and how they think and operate.
So This is How We Got Where We Are...
Not an easy read, but an important read if one wants to understand how we got where we are in terms of Bin Laden, Al Queda, 9/11, and the war on terror.
We must understand the past if we are to understand the future. Otherwise, we will make the same mistakes again...
This is a litany of our mistakes, missed opportunities, and misunderstandings that led to 9/11.
It is impressive that this book is written without casting blame or second guessing. It just lays it out there, warts, moles and all.
That makes this a very important book for our age. A very important book. A "must read" for anyone who wants to understand the world in which we live.

Worthy of the prize
I would echo what an author said on the jacket - this led to a lot of 'aha' moments where things were stitched together for me.
The Looming Tower
This book gave me a detailed understanding of the radical Islamism mind. It should be required reading fo all Western civilizations including US congress.
A must read
Our book club, in existence since 1963, discussed this book in September. We agreed that it is a most important book. I gave copies to each of our five offspring. I tell everyone that it is a must read. I would like to ask all those people running for the office of President if they have read it.
