The Terror Timeline: Year by Year, Day by Day, Minute by Minute: A Comprehensive Chronicle of the Road to 9/11 — and America's Response is a compilation of over 5,000 reports and articles concerning the

September 11, 2001 attacks.[1]

The book was compiled by a Stanford University alumnus and 9/11 researcher Paul Thompson, and by other contributors to the History Commons website (formerly operated by the Center for Cooperative Research).

Influence

The book and its online counterpart were used by the

9/11 Truth Movement film "9/11: Press for Truth" documents the journey of the Jersey Girls and it uses the book and website as its primary reference.[3]

Thompson's work was cited as a key piece of research in a

New York Attorney General's Office.[4]

His work is also cited in the books Bad News by

Tom Fenton[5] and Fog Facts by Larry Beinhart.[6] Richard Clarke has put it on his reading list for his course on "Terrorism, Security, and Intelligence" at Harvard University.[7]

Contents

  1. "Before 9/11" - the background of Osama bin Laden and the beginnings of al-Qaeda; early assessments by intelligences agencies concerning the possibility of a large scale attack.
  2. "The Terrorists" - profiles the al-Qaeda cell in
    Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
    , and the other terrorists who were involved with the plot.
  3. "Geopolitics and 9/11" - Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Iraq: their relationships with and assessments of al-Qaeda.
  4. "The Attacks" - a minute-by-minute account of the day, September 11, 2001.
  5. "The post 9/11 World" - America's response in the
    War on Terror
    and the investigations into the attacks on 9/11.

The Terror Timeline had contained previously published reports that were subsequently retracted, including allegations against a Saudi man,

Al Qaeda, and their terrorist activities.[8] The sources cited in the book also incorrectly said that Al Amoudi was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by families of 9/11 victims.[8] These reports were based on published news reports that were later retracted but cited in first edition runs of the book before later being retracted by the news sources who made the allegations.[8] HarperCollins removed these references in reprints after January 2005.[8] Upon discovery of this, Paul Thompson and the Center for Cooperative Research made a public apology and the information was removed from the organization's website as well as from future editions of the book.[9]
