On September 11, 2001, the unthinkable happened-the United States of America was attacked by terrorists. The World Trade Center's twin towers and the Pentagon, icons filled with thousands of People, were devasted. This second "Day of Infamy" struck at the heart of the United States and changed the outlook of the free world forever. Within minutes, the infernos were identified as a merciless attack by international terrorists against America. Shock and disbelief reverberated around the world as the death toll rose and the awful implicationsof the attack became clear. How would President George W. Bush cope with this trajedy and how would he lead America through it? How would the world change? It became quickly apparant-through the words and actions of foreign world leaders of all political persuasions-that the attack revolted all decent-minded people. Driven by the events, America and her allies united as one against the terrorist attack, demonstrating their cohesionin a measured and reasoned, yet implacable response: such acts of terror are unacceptable. The terrorists were put on notice that they would be hunted down and brought to justice.

This book is a tribute to the people who lost their lives on September 11,2001. It is also a salute to the matchless courage of the public servents-the policeman and firefighters-who selflessly laid their lives on the line to help others and who died trying to save them. These men and women epitomized the indomitable spirit and courage of a nation forged in freedom and demonstrated that the United States would not succumb to violence and terror. Instead America would rebuild and be stronger than ever.

Over 300 dramatic photos from the archives of the Press Association, together with the words of the Principal players and world leaders as they reacted to unfolding events, make this document of the events of September 11, 2001.
