Critical Perspectives on 9/11

Time is already putting the events of September 11th further behind us, allowing the swirl of history to envelope them and make them part of the past. When that happens, that day will become a transgression of facts that end in a violent climax. This book preserves the immediacy of America's response to the horrors of September 11th and its aftermath. Firefighters, politicians, Muslim-Americans, New Yorkers, and Ground Zero workers are just some of the voices represented here. As primary source reports, the pieces chronicle the infamous day as it happened.
