A Nation Challenged: A Visual History of 9/11 and Its Aftermath FROM OUR EDITORS

FROM THE PUBLISHER
A Nation Challenged: A Visual History of 9/11 and its Aftermath is a breathtaking commemoration of the photojournalism and reporting that won an unprecedented six Pulitzer Prizes for The New York Times, as well as the George Polk Awards for national and foreign reporting. A Nation Challenged records the full range of events from the moment of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to the anthrax scare, the war in Afghanistan, the quick fall of the Taliban and efforts to build a nation in a war-torn land of hungry people, feuding tribal warlords and a fragile transitional government. The result, based on the prize-winning daily special section of The Times, is a moving and authoritative volume that captures a historic period of change. It revives the powerful emotions first evoked by these events, while providing new insight into how they have changed our nation and our times.
With an introduction by The Times's Executive Editor, Howell Raines, and original essays by Times reporters, including Pulitzer Prize winner John F. Burns writing from Kabul, Dan Barry, Celestine Bohlen and N.R. Kleinfield, readers will follow the devastating events of 9/11 on the national and international stage. Special charts, graphics and 250 full-color photographs documenting the gripping scenes at home and abroad are accompanied by carefully chosen text. A Nation Challenged is an indispensable volume for all who desire a comprehensive chronicle of this pivotal time in America's history.

Publishers Weekly
"That morning [9/11] began one of the largest mobilizations by The Times since World War II," writes Howell Raines, the paper's executive editor. The photographic fruits of that superb effort are on display here: unforgettable color images of the Twin Towers in flames, a body in midair, streets clouded with smoke and ash. And there is much more: diagrams detailing how the towers collapsed and the anatomy of an al-Qaeda underground bunker; and original essays by N.R. Kleinfeld, John F. Burns and other Times reporters.
