9-11 a Tribute (Rev. ed)

On September 11th 2001, the unthinkable happened - the United States of America was attacked without warning by terrorists. The World Trade Centre's twin towers and the Pentagon, iconographic buildings filled with thousands of people, were devastated. This second Day of InfamyA" struck at the heart of the United States and changed the outlook of the free world forever. Within minutes, the infernos were identified as a merciless attack by international terrorists against America.

This book is a tribute to the people who lost their lives on that date - it is also a salute to the matchless courage of the public servants - the police officers and firefighters - who selflessly laid their lives on the line to help others and who died trying to save them.

Over 300 dramatic photos from the archives of the Press Association, together with the words of the principal players and world leaders as they reacted to unfolding events, make this a comprehensive and compelling document of the events on September 11th 2011.
