Description: On September 11, 2001, with the terrorist attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the United States entered one of the greatest trials in its history. There were thousands of deaths in the wake of that tragedy -- and thousands of heroes. This book salutes the brave men and women of New York Police Department (NYPD) and the New York Fire Department (FDNY), who proved to the nation and the world the strength and heroism of the American people. Through over 100 pages of black and white photographs (and 16 pages of full color), this memorial volume documents the heroism of New York's finest and bravest in the hours and days following the disaster. With a foreword in tribute to the search and rescue teams and their fallen comrades by Commissioner Kerik, and filled with the inspirational words of national and spiritual leaders, it bears witness to the indomitable spirit of the American people.
Notes: Photos taken during the rescue attempts at the World Trade Center in New York, accompanied by appropriate quotations.
