"In 1000 Years for Revenge - an investigative work that reads like an international thriller - journalist Peter Lance reveals how the FBI missed dozens of opportunities to stop the attacks of September 11, dating back to 1989. Drawing on interviews with scores of central figures in the story, as well as hundreds of pages of declassified documents, Lance uncovers evidence of FBI negligence that even a joint congressional committee missed." "This is a story of heroes: Nancy Floyd, who tried to bring down the New York terror cell but paid for her efforts with damage to her career, and Ronnie Bucca, who tried to alert the FBI to the security threat to New York City from al Qaeda but paid for the agency's negligence with his life on 9/11. It is also a story of the power of evil: Lance offers a chronicle of how one man - the elusive mastermind Yousef - managed to defeat the entire American security system in what Lance calls "the greatest failure of intelligence since the Trojan Horse." 1000 Years for Revenge will change forever the way we look at the FBI and the war on terrorism in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET
