Rating:  Summary: Exceptionally Done! Review: Leave it Time/Life to create a yet another masterpiece! This book draws you into that horrific day of September 11, and fills the soul with the same emotions that was felt then. A tremendous book to keep in the family and to share with future generations.
Rating:  Summary: For Now and Tomorrow Review: As vital as this necessary work is for today, its value will increase as the future unfolds. The important element arising from 9-11 in the total perspective is saluting the unfolding legacy developing from those events as they are projected forward toward posterity, never forgetting the sacrifices of those who died and those who risked their lives to assist. It was a day and a period for coming together, for fellowship, for doing for others. This book serves as an important tool in preserving that legacy.Selfish concerns must be forgotten when an event of this magnitude occurs. This is the type of period when Americans must respond to the challenge, to unite. This book captures that unification process in action. These photos are reminiscent for their profound meaning of those taken following the deaths of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Martin Luther King. A great nation reveals its best, and displays its unifying core, in the wake of tragedy.
Rating:  Summary: Remarkable content, Lousy Layout Review: While the book's content is extraordinary, its layout is awkward. The 9 1/4 X 11 size is sadly frustrating as some of the earliest and most remarkable photographs are positioned and lost in the center seam of the book! I suspect the speed of the book's release had something to do with its awkward layout. Perhaps in time "Life" magazine will release these photographs in a larger format as a timeless record of extraordinary courage and tenacity on every front.
Rating:  Summary: One Nation Review: This book depicts the events of September 11 with photos that are poignant and captivating. The words of the survivors and their families give you a heart-wrenching feeling of what happened that day. We must never forget the sacrifices and heroic deeds of so many people, told and untold. I highly recommend it for a family keepsake to pass onto other generations so that we may never forget the horrendous events of that day.

Rating:  Summary: Fantastic Book..with one error Review: This book is beautiful! It has some great pictures that I hadn't seen anywhere, and I own every WTC book I can find. From the awful events to a history of teh Towers to images of heroes and tributes, this book is wonderful. There is one flaw however, where a caption describes in detail,a picture of a plane hitting the North Tower at 8:48am when CLEARLY it is a pic of the Second plane and Tower 2. How do you miss this one? Especially when there weren't any photos from this angle of the first plane! Other than that, it is a must see!
Rating:  Summary: One Nation Review: It was a great book with a price-less timeline of the events of September 11, 2001.
Rating:  Summary: Remembering is good... Review: What has (...) me off the most since September 11 is how people have been exploiting this tragedy for their own purpose -- the make money. From people selling picture or T-shirts with the twin towers displayed to the current slate of books showing the tragedy in grainy photos, it's nice to turn to someone like Time-Life and get a broad panorama of images to put things into perspective while simultaneously giving us gentle reminders of what happened and where we are today.
Rating:  Summary: Guidepost To A Somber Journey Review: Leave it to Life Magazine to deliver both a poignantly illustrated and informative journey through the tragedy and heroics of 11 September. Unlike other publications of this disaster, Life covers all three crash sites. The photos are vivid and emotional. The information explains the minute-by-minute details while providing an illustrated perspective of the attack and aftermath. Life Magazine has been a valuable companion to other historic events, like JFK's assasination. This book is a guidepost along the somber journey through 11 September and its aftermath. Treasure it.
Rating:  Summary: Poignant and beautiful Review: This publication is absolutely beautiful. The stories, the pictures they all capture the unthinkable events of 9/11. I would recommend this book highly!
