Summary: Thought provoking, and very powerful
Review: Wow... this is one powerful book!!!However, I must say, it is not appropriate to say it is an enjoyable book to read, for it is not. The events revealed here defy description and are so horrific they will stay with you forever. However, the book is a compelling one to read. For those who do not live near New York, it puts the reader in touch with the reality of the events. Life Magazine has produced a moving and impressive account, both in words and photographs, of what will become an unforgettable time in history. 'One Nation' shows through the eyes of endless rescue workers, from all walks of life, that the world with all its tragedy, unpredictability and despair is also still a world filled with tremendous compassion and love for one's fellow man. It has nearly every picture and image that I think I have seen as a result of the tragedy. It adds an entirely new level of insight with the hundreds of pictures of some of the victims. This will be a book that you will keep with you forever, and probably pass down from generation to generation as a reminder of this horrific event, much like Pearl Harbor.

Summary: A "Must-Have"!!!
Review: WOW! This book deals beautifully with what was a very painful and tragic day for all of us... and it is a must-have for ALL Americans, for ALL time! The imagery is awesome and sometimes disturbing... but we should be disturbed, and we should NEVER forget! To forget the day... is to forget the huge loss of life. This book not only immortalizes the significance of the events of September 11th, but it immortalizes those who were lost and those who lost, those who were heroes and those who continue heroic efforts on a daily basis. LIFE has done a great job of balancing the tragedy of that day, with the hope for the future. So... as we move forward... and you begin to slip back into a sense of complacency... open this book... look at the pictures and read the words... and I am sure that it will once again seal your resolve to treasure every moment and to continue striving to make the world a better place.

Review: This book made me cry all over again. This is an important book for all generations. It helps us to never forget the horrific events of September 11, 2001, and we should never be allowed to forget. There were so many souls that were tragically lost that day. We must never forget them or the families they left behind. This act has affected all mankind, and it is a loss we will all feel for a very long time to come. Life, I applaud you for putting out such a wonderful book. I will display it proudly along with my flag. Less, I ever forget.

Summary: difficult to look at
Review: what a healing experience it is to view these pictures. i live in new york and witnessed the attacks on and subsequent collapse of the towers. my apartment building is 10 blocks north of ground zero. while my cell phone still worked i recieved a call from my mother who was sobbing as my eldest brother was on a flight that morning out of Laguardia and my neice had just begun a new job "somewhere downtown" on monday sept 10th. both are safe, my brothers plane landed in chicago and i found my neice 3 hours later shaken but unhurt. unfortunately i lost 2 friends-one in tower two and the other on the united flight. the most moving photos for me and the ones that bring the tears are those of my fellow new yorkers staring in disbelief at the unfolding horror. i continually relive the crash of the second plane into tower 2, the collapse of the towers and building 7 but those visuals in my head do not compare to the pictures in this and similar books.
the towers were not loved by new yorkers in the way that the empire state building or chrysler building are. i never thought i would miss them so much. they were an anchor for those of us who live downtown. the hole in the sky is more of a daily shock than the hole in the ground.
my hope is that rest of america which loves to hate new york saw our humanity that day. these books are testament to that.

Summary: Excellent Portrayal of 9-11
Review: I have to admit, I was wary of a publication about 9-11, cynically thinking most publications are for exploitation and profit only but this book is not that at all. Life Magazine, as always, presents us with a beautiful piece of work, taking us to that tragic day, offering insight as well as edification. This book is exceptional and I highly recommend it!

Summary: Tear-jerking remembrance
Review: I received this book in my stocking for christmas. When I sat down to look at it, the personal testimonies and the introduction from Mayor Giuliani brought tears to my eyes. Everyone in America should have a copy of this book to remember the terrible attack on our great nation.
