On September 11th, 2001, nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in numerous acts of terrorism against the United States. Even now, five years later, people still ask the question, "Where were you on 9/11?" I remember watching, on that fateful day, news coverage that left me horrified, aghast, and haunted.

the book that started my addiction...
All that I can say is that Sean Flynn wrote this book about a horrific true event in such a way that I feel as if I lost my friends in the blaze. I can only imagine how the true friends of these 6 men felt and continue to feel each time they see a family member of one of their perished brothers. I'm not a crying man, but I cried at some points in this story b/c they hit so close to home for one, ...

Amazing collection of photographs by a very gifted photographer
I first saw photographs from this collection at the Museum of Modern Art in Salzburg, Austria. Anyone who entered the gallery was immediately struck by a panorama of ground zero on one wall, each emitting an audible gasp, then standing before it for several minutes in silence. Meyerowitz is an extremely gifted photgrapher, and I recommend other of his collections for viewing. Cape Light: Color ...

Well written and inspirational
This is a fine and inspirational account of a man who relied on God in his time of need. I would say that people who are struggling with their faith in God should read this book. Each chapter has scriptural references which relate very well to the chapter and Stanley Praimnath's experiences. It will help the reader understand God's grace and love, as well as improve his or her knowledge of the ...

This book is overflowing with so many sources that you may as well toss out the Yellowpages. Judy Kerr did a flawless job of providing step-by-step instructions regarding the business-side of acting and how you can get started. Sure, ...

At last a real story about real women!
My husband told me I would like this book. Why would I like a book about spys, soldiers, and the Vietnam War? Hello! There are women involved with spys, soldiers, and the Vietnam War - especially the soldiers who served in the Vietnam War. And are there ever women in this story! Jerilyn and Cindy are the opposites yet so much alike. The dark haired slut versus the blonde who did ...

This book was like none other I have ever read... the author seemed to digest this tradegy and somehow turned it into something beautiful.

A Comprehensive Analysis
Having worked with Arab and Arab Americans it seems that Samar through her interviews has portrayed the most realistic representation of Arab opinions I have seen from an American author. The diveristy of Arab perspectives, and the commonalities of American and Arab feelings have been very well covered. The idea of dialogue for understanding is so simple yet we still rely on our public leaders to ...
