{"product_id":"9780061852961","title":"Perfect Soldiers: The 9\/11 Hijackers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe attacks of September 11, 2001, were a calamity on a scale few had imagined possible. In their aftermath, we exaggerated the men who perpetrated the attacks, shaping hasty and often mistaken reporting into caricatures we could comprehend -- monsters and master criminals equal to the enormity of their crime. In reality, the 9\/11 hijackers were unexceptional men, not much different from countless others. It is this ordinary enemy, not the caricature, that we must understand if we are to have a legitimate hope of defeating terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing research undertaken in twenty countries on four continents, \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e correspondent Terry McDermott provides gripping, authoritative portraits of the main players in the 9\/11 plot. With brilliant reporting and thoughtful analysis, McDermott brings us a clearer, more nuanced, and in some ways more frightening, understanding of the landmark event of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119202091248,"sku":"9780061852961","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780061852961_p0.jpg?v=1769910028","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780061852961","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
