 I was disappointed. May 13, 2002
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been searching for a book on 9-11 to hand down to future generations of my family, and I thought that I could not go wrong with a book published by Life. However, after perusing through the book I ended up returning it. If you are interested only in what happened in New York City, this is a great book--but the Pentagon and Pennsylvania incidents barely received a page or two of coverage. Since I live just a few miles from the Pentagon in Alexandria, Virginia and drive by the damaged side each day as I head toward Memorial Bridge to work, that is what I am interested in reading about. I am very disappointed that Life treated the Pentagon as a postscript.

From the moment I opened this book, I was riveted. Every page was filled with pictures, personal accounts and memories. It was hard to look at the pictures and not cry. That old addage is true...a picture really is worth a thousand words. Every picture put in this book tells a story...From the firefighters, police and EMS personnel who are now being called heroes, to the picture that unfortunately captured a person jumping from one of the towers. I would say definitely pick up a copy of this book. I know that every time I look through the pages of the book I will always remember the events of that day and the days following. I will also remember how proud I feel to not only be an American, but to be one who as an EMT assisted at Ground Zero.

A worthy tribute. Be prepared, however, to open up this book and be taken right back to the shock, grief and pain of September 11. It is hard to believe that we lived through it, and the book is a way to further absorb some of these huge events at whatever pace is right for you. Amazing photos taken inside the World Trade Center during the evacuation, as well as the heroic rescue workers (including the canine heros). Nothing overly graphic. Very well put together, as we would expect from Life Magazine.
One nation remembers... March 22, 2002

This book is very informative, it details everything by the minute. Many of the photos published are photos I viewed only on the internet so it's great that I now have copies of those photos. This book is also heartbreaking because it brings it all back. There are photos of flyers of the missing victims on the inside covers, viewing the cover of the book on the web you are not able to see that it actually has thumbnail photos of the victims. This book is well written and very informative for our children if they need it for reference in the future. I highly recommend everone to buy it. A co-worker brought two copies of this book after reading my copy. Take care! God Bless America!
