Summary: Beautiful
Review: A really worthwhile book to own as a remembrance of that terrible day. I'm sure I will refer to this book in future years and plan to save it forever. I hope we never again see another day like September 11, 2001.

Summary: One of the best
Review: There are scores of books on the shelves attempting to encapsulate the images of our darkest day in history, but LIFE always did have a unique and moving way to capture these events. ONE NATION provides not only the visual images but also the editorial that many people desire. Page after page you will be moved. A New Yorker all my life, I still cannot believe what happened that day, what my own eyes witnessed as the towering steel pillars crumbled to dust. My children will ask me questions when they grow up about what we experienced on 9-11-01 and I know that the images will be as clear to me in the future as they were on that day. Thanks to books like this, the complete and accurate "history lesson" will be readily accessible to our future generations.

Summary: One Nation
Review: 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.

Summary: REMEMBER!!!!!!!
Review: 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.

Summary: Superb, exactly what I was in search of!
Review: 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!

Summary: We Must NEVER Forget
Review: 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.

Summary: A stunning collection and achievement.
Review: Life has really outdone itself here. This wonderfully executed book on the 9/11 tragedy is by far the best of the twenty plus that I have viewed. The best thing in this volume is the gripping recapping of the events of that day complete with AMAZING photographs that flow along a timeline. The pictures are of the highest quality, many of them I had not even seen before. The inclusion of photos of 'ordinary' Americans near the end is also quite haunting. I highly recommend this book, rather than some others (Reuters for one) that used the tragedy as a platform to promote various causes.

Summary: Excellent review and pictorial on 9/11

Summary: An outstanding pictorial of the American Tragedy
Review: While the images collected in this volume are familiar to anyone with a television, they are still as disturbing as when they first appeared seven months ago. Life magazine, long a chronicle of the major events in American history and pop culture, has done it again with striking photography and heart-wrenching profiles of the many heroes of that pivotal day. Featuring an introduction by former New York mayor Giuliani and a poem by laureate Maya Angelou, this book is a must-have for present and future generations. Its poignant text and attention to detailing the events as they occurred make the book a handy, if emotionally charged reference work. Not enough recommendations can be given to this sure-to-be award-winning publication.

Summary: THE Nation
Review: The editors of LIFE magazine have put together a splendid testimonial to all of the victims of September 11th. This is a volume that should be on the coffee table of every American household and in every school library. In great detail, LIFE recreates that day with pictures, eyewitness reports, and graphics, that will further enhance your knowledge of exactly what happened. The pictures are stunning and at times they bring the action rushing back into your mind. This is not the kind of book that you can just pick up and read. This is a book that you thumb through on a periodic basis to remind yourself that we are a target. It is the kind of book that you have to buy so your kids and grandkids will be able to understand what happened. We are the only nation that could have come through this attack with renewed patriotism. This book does everything it can to remind the reader that we are truly the land of the free and the home of the brave.
