The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, better known as the 9-11 Commission, gave its final report Thursday. The document is almost six hundred pages. It follows twenty months of investigation into what went wrong on September eleventh, two-thousand-one, and how to prevent future attacks.
Commission members feared the book’s length as well as its intricate details may hinder comprehension by key members of the United States Government. Therefore, the Commission has released a ‘simpler’ version of their findings.
Titled ‘Little Majed Visits New York’, this lighter version offers easy to read text with classic illustrations. Interactive pop-ups allow readers to simulate the experience from ground zero.
The book clearly outlines mistakes, places blame as well as tells the tale of a little Arab who just wanted to be loved. Committee members are excited about the follow up book next spring titled ‘The Little Dictator Who Cried Wolf’.
