By establishing the most definitive timeline of how that day unfolded, William M. Arkin shows how the US government failed in the face of the unprecedented attack. It is a story of laughable airport security, vulnerable airspace, blind intelligence, poor communications, muddled orders, Pentagon chaos, and presidential isolation. Everything about the emergency procedures of the governments-from White House security to continuity of government to military alerts-went wrong.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn That Day\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning, nightmare journey through a government reeling in confusion while many civilians performed individual acts of heroism. It is a chilling expose of government negligence and overreach, and a constitution in crisis.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46363217133726,"sku":"ADS-9781541701069","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781541701069.jpg?v=1767313970","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781541701069","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
