In great detail, LIFE recreates that day with pictures, eyewitness reports, and graphics, that will further enhance your knowledge of exactly what happened. The pictures are stunning and at times they bring the action rushing back into your mind.
This is not the kind of book that you can just pick up and read. This is a book that you thumb through on a periodic basis to remind yourself that we are a target. It is the kind of book that you have to buy so your kids and grandkids will be able to understand what happened.
We are the only nation that could have come through this attack with renewed patriotism. This book does everything it can to remind the reader that we are truly the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I highly recommend this book, rather than some others (Reuters for one) that used the tragedy as a platform to promote various causes.
Featuring an introduction by former New York mayor Giuliani and a poem by laureate Maya Angelou, this book is a must-have for present and future generations. Its poignant text and attention to detailing the events as they occurred make the book a handy, if emotionally charged reference work.
Not enough recommendations can be given to this sure-to-be award-winning publication.
