Great Blend Of Information & Emotion December 8, 2001
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
The September 11 tragedy still haunts us. While we will never forget that horrible day, Life Magazine provides a book that enables us to reflect on the emotions in NYC, DC and PA, while providing outstanding information about the attacks and aftermath. This beautiful coffee table book includes a forward by Mayor Giuliani. Life Magazine meets, and often exceeds, our expectations with images depicting the horror, sadness, heroism and determination of those impacted. I visited Ground Zero, last week, and began to understand for the first time the true emotion, scope and scar of the attack. "One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001" helps all of us do the same.
Images of a Tragedy December 7, 2001

What lives left this planet on September 11 is more than words will describe. "Life" knows this. "One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001" merges pictures and words to document a passionate loss of passionate people.I saw the tragedy unfold on a TV in a hotel near Chicago. In 30 years, I'll need to describe this to some children... what can I say? "One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001" will help me. Utilizing the gifts of some of America's best writers, incorporating profiles of those who saw the buildings recklessly tumble into the streets, "Life" has created a masterwork. Who better to write the introduction than the King of New York, Rudy Giuliani? He showed what being a lame duck mayor can be... a man of valor and leadership, undaunted by his last days in official office. Rudy Giuliani led more than New York as the crisis unfolded. He led America, and George W. Bush helped. Buy "One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001." Maybe buy two copies... one to read now, and one as an archive of a moment catapulted into history. I fully recommend "One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001." Anthony Trendl

AWESOME. Outstanding photgraphs unmatched for this tragice day. The book takes you minutes by minutes that fateful day with some great short stories that high light the terrorism that was thrust upon us. You will want to look at this over and over again and keep it secured to pass on to your children. A great job as usual by Life magazine photo editors.
The best of the bunch December 2, 2001

An extraordinary collection of photographs by Life photographers and essays that capture the history and emotions of 9/11 and the aftermath. The coverage is not just limited to the WTC, but Washington and Pennsylvania as well - the whole nation, in fact. Truly as inspiring as it is horrifying. There have been numerous books already on this subject but this one looks like its going to be the definitive volume to keep.

I have read a few reviews and comments from other places as to why these types of books popped up after the tragedy. Some call it abusing the publishing arena to make bank account rather than the account. First we need a record of this account whether the material is for profit, since we all will profit from this for many reasons and lessons. Our history has been altered, can you imagine if people forgot about Pearl Harbor. I was at Pearl Harbor December 7th 1941, and I was in Manhattan September 11th 2001. The same shock and memories crossed me in the instant. The same pain befell me. Amongst the damage incurred and all the planes in the air, there were some Japanese planes that crashed that day, the memories are easy to bear now. I believe our pain will soon subside, then, when we look at the pictures in this book and the written account, we will be able to decide our direction. I have the original Life Magazines for the entire year of 1942, and many through 1946. When I looked at them when the war was finished, my contentment could not be surpassed. When I look at them now, I feel we can do it again, even better. We need it to remember for many reasons. This Book is the best account I have seen to date and would suggest buying it for your Grand children. Show them when they are old enough to understand. They will be able to decide whats best for America. I want to recommend a very good book that is everything about the events come to us, and gives us some fine direction. SB 1 or God by Karl Maddox
