Overview:

Within moments after the collapse of the World Trade Center, the attack on the Pentagon, and the downing of United Airlines Flight 93 over a field in Pennsylvania, the shocked world knew that much more than the spectacular New York City skyline had changed forever. Steven Brill shows us how profoundly true that is in this richly detailed, day-by-day account of how America mobilized to protect our now-clearly-vulnerable homeland and to help rebuild not just Ground Zero, but the thousands of shattered lives that were affected by the attacks. One marvels at the extent of the destruction and at the speed of the response. However, After does not present an always-pretty picture of good will and cooperation. Instead, we are shown a year of stunning juxtapositions: of extraordinary charity, brain power, and good intentions versus greed, self-interest, and bureaucratic incompetence. NOTE: This is a Scratch and Dent version and accordingly MAY NOT have a dust jacket.
