Horn Book Review

Each volume in this series covers a different aspect of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including homeland defense, rescue workers, and the response of the global community. The prose is adequate, and the accompanying color photos are not always well reproduced, but the events are so intrinsically dramatic that the books are sure to garner readers. All but [cf2]Leaders[cf1] and [cf2]Eagle[cf1] contain timelines. Glos., ind. [Review covers these War on Terrorism titles: [cf2]Operation Noble Eagle; Ground Zero; Heroes of the Day; United We Stand; America's Leaders; September 11, 2001[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010.
