Since September 11th, 2001, the most-asked question has been, why didn't America's intelligence community see the attacks coming? Now a new book by journalist Gerald Posner shows how the failure to prevent the 9/11 attacks was a direct result of incompetence and misplaced priorities.

One of the best-known of those passengers was Todd Beamer, a software salesman from New Jersey. The last words anyone on the ground heard Beamer say -- "Let's roll" -- are now the title of his widow Lisa Beamer's bestselling book about her late husband.
