I clearly remember sitting in 8th grade History class when a teacher came in to tell my teacher that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I also clearly remember her standing there crying and everyone being very silent and watching as the second one hit. I remember the caring and concern that people felt for the state of New York and those people who were sifting through the wreckage and those who had lost their lives. This book was a very detailed account of so many lives and the events as they unfolded. I hate to say that I enjoyed this book, simply because of the subject matter, but it was a very good book. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in United States history, disasters, or simply this event.
