As I clicked through the excerpts offered by Amazon.com, I realized I HAVE this book -- but not by this name. The one I have may have come out earlier or later. It is an oversized paperback (coffee-table type) by LIFE entitled, "In the Land of The Free." It is, indeed, an INCREDIBLE book, and one I am extremely grateful to have as a visual and emotional reminder of that day -- and the days following.
I HIGHLY recommend either edition. ONE NATION appears to have more pages and a different cover -- due, I'm sure, to the differences in pub dates. The hardcover version, ONE NATION, would/ will last longer than the paperback, as my binder is already showing wear.
A must for anyone who wants to teach their children, a friend, a traveler, or remind yourself, what happened this day -- and why it still brings us to tears.
As DVD companions, the "IN MEMORIAM -- NEW YORK CITY, 9/11/01" and "9/11 - THE FILMAKERS' COMMEMORATIVE EDITION" come with my HIGHEST recommendations. I grew up in Manhattan, and though have not lived there for many years, that old saying goes -- once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker. We all became New Yorkers that day.
And we all became members of a Global Community that day, as we saw when 3,000 trees were planted in Australia on the 2nd Anniversary of 9/11....and with hope & rememberance, perchance we can continue to be so....
