In an unprecedented effort, The New York Times opens its picture archive of September 11th and the aftermath at home and abroad. The result is groundbreaking photojournalism punctuated with authoratative prose. Culled from both published and previously unpublished material, A Nation Challenged highlights the best work of the paper's award-winning staffers-the work that has made the Times the paper of record for these events.

Publisher's Weekly Review

"That morning [9/11] began one of the largest mobilizations by The Times since World War II," writes Howell Raines, the paper's executive editor. The photographic fruits of that superb effort are on display here: unforgettable color images of the Twin Towers in flames, a body in midair, streets clouded with smoke and ash. And there is much more: diagrams detailing how the towers collapsed and the anatomy of an al-Qaeda underground bunker; and original essays by N.R. Kleinfeld, John F. Burns and other Times reporters.
