Ground Zero: The Story of the 9/11 Attacks
Ground Zero is a powerful and moving account of the events of September 11, 2001, as told through the eyes of the people who were there. From the first plane hitting the North Tower to the collapse of the Twin Towers, from the Pentagon attack to the crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, this book brings the day's events to life in a way that is both deeply personal and historically significant.
Drawing on hundreds of interviews with survivors, witnesses, and first responders, as well as extensive research, Ground Zero provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the attacks. The book explores the failures of intelligence and security that allowed the attacks to happen, the heroism and resilience of those who responded, and the ongoing impact of the attacks on our world.
More than just a work of history, Ground Zero is also a story of hope and healing. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome even the most devastating tragedy.
