A review by eldiente
The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against Al-Qaeda by Ali H. Soufan

3.0

This audiobook was difficult at times to follow given the large number of redactions ordered, according to the author, by the CIA. The occasional name or place being redacted wasn't so much of a problem, but when a larger section was missing, the audio version left me wondering - a sentence, a paragraph, or much more.

I left angry at the folly of politicians (Barbara Bodine - former ambassador to Yemen) and stupidity and arrogance of some military leaders (General Miller - Abu Grahb prison ). But I was impressed with the tenacity and intelligence of investigators devoted to justice.

The book could have been shorter, but was interesting.
