is the definitive look at the aftermath of 9/11. The most devastating terrorist atrocity in the history of the United States bowed and bloodied the nation. But out of that tragedy rose the people of America like an unstoppable tide ready to help in whatever way they could, leading to hundreds of tales of heroism. With first-hand accounts from the rescue workers who navigated the treacherous, mangled steel and concrete moraine left by the collapse of the towers to reach survivors; the soldiers who were deployed to the scene – who stayed despite orders from their superiors to the contrary; family members who desperately searched for loved-ones; survivors who were pulled from the wreckage; and eyewitnesses who documented the scene from various vantage points throughout.
