For decades, we Americans have turned to 'Life' when we wanted to see, understand and remember the most important events of our time. Now the magazine's editors have assembled a powerful, heartbreaking, inspiring account of the event of September 11, 2001, and their aftermath.
'One Nation' is not just an account of the tragedies in New York, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvania; it is also a celebration of strength, unity and heroism.
We meet firefighters and policemen who insisted on going into the burning buildings evens as thousands were desperately trying to escape. We meet rescue workers who frantically searched through the rubble for anyone still alive. We meet ordinary men and women who, in the moment, became heroes.
In addition to a powerful array of photographs that were taken by many of the world's greatest photographers, 'One Nation' also includes original essays by some of the country's finest writers. To remember is to honour.
