Book Reviews of A Nation Challenged: A Visual History of 9/11 and Its Aftermath (New York Times)
Book Review: A Respectful Tribute
Summary: 5 Stars
September 11th 2001 is a date that will go down in history for ever more. It was seen on televisions, newspapers and radios all over the world, and this book is an intriguing, and respectful memoriam of that awful day.The first section of this book is pictures of the event, and the aftermath. These insightful pictures are blended in with very interesting information. It contains articles from the New York Times, and diagrams of what actually happened, in terms of the collapse. Very scientific cross- sections are included, showing the place of impact, and what actually went wrong to cause the collapses.
Not only does this book contain information of the day, but the background of the terrorists, and actual flight recordings of what happened on the doomed planes. A particularly upsetting section of this is a double page showing pictures of every fire-fighter who died, which puts the terrible attacks into depressing proportion.
After explaining everything there is about the actual attacks, this impressive book moves on to explain the Anthrax attacks, the memorial services, and the war on terrorism. There is also a very insightful look into the Muslim community after 9/11, showing the two sides of the day.
I appreciated this book immensely, because it really showed the true side of the day in the best taste imaginable, written by the victim city itself, the New York Times. It answers questions about the war on terrorism, the Muslim religion, and the effect on Afghanistan. This is an incredible, if sometimes depressing, mostly pictorial tribute, and is something to keep for generations to come, in memory of those who suffered and died. Whatever your religion, nationality, whether you are for or against the war on terrorism, this book is a necessity.
