One Nation September 16, 2002
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
I agree with most readers, this is a incredible book about a vicious terrorist attack. I do not agree with a reader from New York, that America should close its borders because of this. Maybe America should exempt some people from entering, but not all, since the beginning of colonization America has welcomed immigrants from all over the world. Unless you are a native American, all other people have once been immigrants. I am from the Netherlands, and it was the Dutch who founded New Amsterdam, as New York was then called. So the Dutch have a strong feeling about New York in general. I have visited New York twice, and I also visited the Twin Towers twice. When I first heard about the attacks, I wanted to check the internet but it was jammed. When it was time to go home, I even got a speeding ticket. I wanted to get home as fast as I could. Last week I have seen a lot of programmes on tv, regarding the aniversary of the attacks. Every time I see the planes hit the towers, or when the buildings come down, or people jump out of the windows, it always makes me cry. So please remember not only Americans are touched by this event, but also other people around the world, and the closing of the borders is not a solution of terrorist attacks. I myself have always wanted to immigrate to the US, and that feeling has even been stronger since 9-11-01. Though it seems America doesn't have many friends at this moment around the world, the only thing I can say for myself is that I am a friend from the USA and I know a lot of people who are also friends from the US.
I will always be a friend.
Amazing pictoral look at 9-11 August 16, 2002

I bought this as a gift to my sister, but before I wrapped it, I ended up looking through the photos that told the haunting story of 9-11. Now, granted, I have not seen the other books by other publishers, but I was amazed at the vividness captured on film. My wife is a photographer, and I know how hard she works to capture images that are "worth a 1,000 words." The photographers who sold their images to Life have done their job. If you want a keep-sake to remember one of the greatest tragedies in American history, I recommend this book. It helps give perspective as to the true tragedy of the events taking place that day.

This book is incredible! The detail and information is excellent. I live in NY and had the WTC as my view. We need to support our troops and fight this. For the first time in history we need to close the borders and stop immigration and focus on Americans!!! This book should be in the homes of every AMERICAN.
Superb, exactly what I was in search of! June 11, 2002

I was in search of a book memoralizing September 11. I wanted mainly pictures, with slight descriptions. I wanted to open the cover to see the two tall towers beaming in their prime with pride. And being a New Yorker, I wanted to see the whole truth. People are mortified by the images of people jumpimg from the towers. This is realism. This is what we all went through. I didnt want anything sugar coated for me, or better yet for my childrens children that look upon this tragedy in years to come. These are the unfathomable images that sparked rage and fury against anyone who terrorizes our country. This is what made us truly unite. This book had it all. I will save it until the end of time and pass it along to generations to come to see what I/we lived through and how I am so proud, not only to be an American, but a New Yorker!
We Must NEVER Forget June 8, 2002
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
We must never forget what happened on September 11, as individuals and as a nation. A book like this is one that our grandchildren will be looking at years from now while we describle the feelings and horror of that time.LIFE magazine, as usual, could be counted upon to chronicle, in photos and text, these sad and devastating events. The photos are exquisitely painful and the text (some by Guiliani, and poems by Maya Angelou and Charles Parks) is achingly appropriate. Reading this today, nine months after our national tragedy, made me realize that while the rawness of grief has somewhat lessened, it will never be gone.
