Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The award-winning Wilborn Hampton recounts one horrifying day in history through the eyes of several who experienced it firsthand.

A blind man and his dog struggling to escape from the burning North Tower, a company of firefighters risking their lives to help with the evacuation, an ordinary citizen turned rescue worker sifting through debris after the towers collapsed - each of these individuals endured a personal nightmare, and each carries a separate memory.

In SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: ATTACK ON NEW YORK CITY, Wilborn Hampton captures an unprecedented piece of history through interviews and accounts of survivors, heroes, and terrorists. In addition, the seasoned reporter tells his own story, thus bringing to readers the grieving, compassionate voice of a fellow New Yorker who was close to Ground Zero. Amplifying the narrative are fifty-four black-and-white photographs, indelible images of horror and heroism unfolding. The panorama of views Wilborn Hampton presents, following several individuals through September 11 and its aftermath, creates an intimate portrait of life and loss, and a deeper understanding of the events of that tragic day.

Synopsis:

An account of one of the most shocking events to rock the world in recent times, by an award-winning journalist. The tragic events in New York City on September 11, 2001, are captured and made comprehensible though photographs and the stories of people who lived through it.

Synopsis:

Through interviews and accounts of survivors, heroes, and even terrorists, the author of "Kennedy Assassinated!" creates a deeper understanding of the events of that tragic day. Photos.
