Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11 by Mitchell Zuckoff
5.0
An overwhelming read for obvious reasons. Zuckoff accomplishes exactly what he set out to do with this book on 9/11: to preserve the emotions, images, and terror felt by survivors and onlookers, to remember the last moments of loved ones who did not return home, and to provide younger generations and future readers an understanding of the emotional impact of that day.
One book cannot tackle every aspect of 9/11, however. The Pulitzer Prize winning 'The Looming Tower' details the geopolitical path that led to the rise of Osama Bin Laden and his group of extremists. But to expect an all encompassing book on 9/11 is not realistic. Enjoy Zuckoff's book for what it is; a well constructed, well written, and well researched narrative on the terrible events of a beautiful September day that changed the world forever. 5 stars. It's an important book.
