Synopsis
The attacks of September 11, 2001, were called an act of war against the United States, similar to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor fifty years earlier. The authors in this anthology describe their experiences of escaping from the World Trade Center towers and watching the buildings collapse. Personal accounts of the rescue and recovery efforts; reactions by both politicians and ordinary civilians; and the Arab perspective on the attacks are also included in this timely and engaging volume.
