Study of Revenge: The First World Trade Center Attack
and Saddam Hussein's War against America
American Enterprise Institute, 2001 (revised edition; first
edition published in October 2000)
“Work the U.S. government should have done.”
— Gil Childers, lead prosecutor in the trial of the World
Trade Center bombers (October 2000, AEI book panel on
Study of Revenge).
“Although we are unable to say with certainty the Iraqis were
behind the bombing, that is certainly the theory accepted by
most of the veteran investigators.”
— Jim Fox, Director of New York FBI, who led the
investigation into the World Trade Center bombing
"Laurie Mylroie's manuscript on the World Trade Center
bombing is one of the most brilliant pieces of research and
scholarship in this area that I have ever read."
— Vincent Cannistraro, Former Chief of Counter-
terrorism Operations for the CIA's CTC
"If time proves that Laurie Mylroie is right about what
happened in 1993, . . . try to think of a living American to
whom you would owe more."
— R. James Woolsey, Fomer CIA Director, Foreword to
Study of Revenge, revised edition.
Washington Monthly Journalism Award
"Mylroie . . . found that lack of coordination between the
Justice Department and national security agencies means that
national security gets short shrift in dealing with domestic
terrorism."
