Hillary Nan Goldberg's Tipster: A Look at How 9/11 Happened, is the first, and possibly the only, book that discusses the possibilities and aftermath of several American terrorist attacks. She especially touches on 9/11, and the government failures that she personally experienced prior to its occurence. Specifically, she describes her report to the FBI two weeks before 9/11. Her book provides secret glimpses into her world as the child of a CIA operative, terror/crime victim, and an intern at The New York Philharmonic where she encounters both celebrities and politicians. She tells the reader about how a deranged fan committed a domestic terror attack, and about the Media Freeze which followed that involved Bill and Hillary Clinton during the Whitewater Hearings. Her book analyzes the country's situation from a personal perspective that no other author can offer. Her name was mentioned by former CIA Director George Tenet as "the only sane one amongst us," at the 9/11 Hearings. Her tip regarded two local men, including Mohammed Atta, a main hijacker of the 9/11 disaster. Her book destroys the myth of privilege surrounding the lives of CIA agents and their families. She fully exercises her right to criticize the government in her tell-all book about how her own government failed her.
