  September 11, 2001. A day that shook the world and left thousands dead in the World Trade Center, in the Pentagon, and in the Pennsylvania countryside. This book serves as a testament to those who lost their lives, to those who fought to save them, and to those who are endeavouring to rebuild. The guiding principle in assembling these images was one of documenting scenes of endurance and resolve. Finding the pictures that capture courage and fortitude in the heat and dust of ground zero. All profits from this book will be donated to AIDfund, AIDfund for America and The Pearson September 11 Children's Fund, along with additional contributions from Reuters and from Pearson Education, the book's publisher.
