THE ELEVENTH DAY: THE ULTIMATE ACCOUNT OF 9/11

by Anthony Summers & Robbyn Swan

 



This must be the definitive account of 9/11. The shockwaves of the September 11, 2001 attacks in America reverberate to this day. Though Osama Bin Laden has been killed, questions remain. What exactly happened? Could 9/11 have been prevented? How and why did so much acrimony and misinformation arise from the ashes of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a quiet field in Pennsylvania? And what has yet to be revealed? The Eleventh Day, written with access to thousands of recently released official documents, is updated for this edition − and reports on a development which the former chairman of Congress' 9/11 probe describes as the "most important in years".

Volume three reveals the fate of the ninety-two German U-boats that passed through Lorient from August 1942 to August 1943.

by Luc Braeuer

 

An account of the Patrols of U-201 in World War II. Few commanders symbolize the evolution of the German U-boat arm as does Adalbert "Adi" Schnee. In 1940, he commanded three Type II U-boats, U-6, U-60 and U-121, in which he registered his first successes in the Atlantic. From the beginning of 1941, he was appointed commander of U-201, the first Type VIIC U-boat allotted to I Flotilla. Seven patrols took him to the coasts of America and Africa, and he would receive the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, with 15 ships sunk in mid-Atlantic. in May 1945 he carried out a combat mission in the latest Type XXI U-boat, U-2511.
