A propos du livre

Review :

"[A] gripping account."--New York Daily News

"A riveting piece of journalism and an exceptional tribute to a great American city that manages to avoid being sentimental or syrupy."--USA Today

"Succeeds in every way. It is a harrowing narrative of the events and a behind-the-scenes look at the public officials and everyday people forever changed by the attack. It is also a portrait of a major American city, its psyche, and the distance runners who consider the race a sacred rite."--The Washington Post

"This is a stunning, mesmerizing and fascinating book. We get to see the horror close up, its beginnings, enactment, and its terrible legacies. This is a remarkable achievement of a still stupefying act."--The Providence Journal
