From Booklist
Gr. 7-12. "What is terrorism?" "What is jihad?" "What makes al-Qaeda different from other terrorist groups?" "Why attack the Twin Towers and the Pentagon?" Using a question-and-answer format that distills topics down to their core, this fine title by a Time magazine reporter boldly tackles the largest questions about the 9/11 attacks. In remarkably simple, accessible language, Frank, a New Yorker, begins with an overview of the tragic events, including his own terrifying first-person experience. Always, the author moves beyond the facts of what happened to why, and the book's later chapters are devoted to questions about who the terrorists were, where they came from, what they wanted. Frank takes a worldview that assumes that "America is the most powerful nation on earth," and his language sometimes jars with its blatant nationalism: "Why does the Middle East matter to us?" But his constant reminder is that change and hope begin by learning about other people, other cultures. The black-and-white photographs are all the more alarming for their snapshot quality, and a time line of 9/11 progresses along the bottom of each page. Direct, unflinching, intelligent, and humane, this is an invaluable resource for teens and adults alike. Gillian Engberg
