Synopsis
As befits the Life brand, and the associations many Americans have with it, One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001 by Life Magazine is not just a book about tragedy, but a look at how the nation, and the world, came together after this disaster. This is about firemen going in amidst the rubble, but it is also about a Frenchman in Paris holding up a sign that says, "We are all Americans." This is about our leaders taking charge, but it is also about schoolchildren in Iowa hanging an American flag on a tree in their backyard. The attack showed us the worst in people, but it also has shown us the best. One Nation will not shy away from dealing with the darkness (it has to, obviously), but it will embrace the light.
Lavishly illustrated with photos throughout.
The profits from the book will be donated to charity.

When Americans think of photographic journalism at its finest, they think of Life magazine. This book will draw upon the best photographers employed by Time, Life, People and other magazines. Many of the photographers have had their own collections published in book form.

July 11, 2004: I bought this book and was so touched by the photos I could only view it a few pages at a time. It documents in hours and minutes what took place on September 11 2001 in pictures. In one picture on this date at 5:45 AM a security camera captures a picture of Mohamed Atta passing through security in Portland Maine preparing to board a flight to take him and another terrorist, Abdulaziz Alomari to Boston. The inner cover of the book has several small photos of people affected that day some missing some dead. Loved ones pasted pictures on letter sized paper with messages 'Missing' and listed contact information. This book has an extraordinary affect in the excellent photos,images of things you would rather forget or heard about back then. One photo is of people falling out of one of the towers. I heard about this but now I saw one of the pictures, sad, so sad. There are pictures of firefighters, search dogs, doctors and nurses, families and volunteers who passed through this tragedy. This book documents sadness, smoke, debris, destruction, tragedy, heroism, kindness and miracles. It has photos of strangers assisting them those who need help, people that lost loved ones and so much more. September 11 2001 changed America's heart. You must buy this book, you must see the photos. You must NEVER forget that there are evil people in the world. You must NEVER forget all those that died that day in the three airplanes and in the targeted buildings or the soldiers that are fighting today against this evil. You must NEVER forget the lives that were changed for the loved one left behind, fatherless children, motherless children, widows, widowers, parents without children, missing friends and family members. Evil is not just a word it is a spirit of destruction. We must NEVER forget. Finally you see photos of people raising their American flags proudly, prayer vigils with candles, kids saying the Pledge of Allegiance all pictures of a God fearing people who rise above the evil and destruction. September ll 2001 made us see we are really ONE Nation and ONE people, Americans and proud of it.

December 03, 2002: This is a heart wrenching piece of work by a truly great American. The color plates tatoo themselves into your soul. Another reviewer mentioned SB1 or God as an equil to this. Nice try Mr. Maddox.
