Commemorating September 11
Of the four horrific hijackings on September 11th, Flight 93, which crashed in a field outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, resonates as one of epic resistance. A number of passengers phoned relatives and others on the ground to tell them of the hijacking and what they planned to do about it. This definitive account is by The New York Times reporter who covered the story. 8-page photo insert.
Lisa Beamer was thrust into the national spotlight after her husband, Todd, led a counterattack against terrorists on United Flight 93. Todd's last known words, "Let's roll!" have become a rallying cry for the nation to move ahead in hope. This is the story of her marriage, the events of 9/11, and the aftermath.

Early on the morning of September 11, 2001, Lauren Manning-- a wife, the mother of a ten-month-old son, and a senior vice president and partner at Cantor Fitzgerald-- came to work, as always, at One World Trade Center. As she stepped into the lobby, a fireball exploded from the elevator shaft, and in that split second her life was changed forever. Lauren was burned over 82.5 percent of her body. As he watched his wife lie in a drug-induced coma in the ICU of the Burn Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Greg Manning began writing a daily journal. In the form of e-mails to family, friends, and colleagues, he recorded Lauren's harrowing struggle-- and his own tormented efforts to make sense of an act that defies all understanding. This book is that e-mail diary: detailed, intimate, inspiring messages that end, always, as if a prayer for a happy outcome: Love, Greg and Lauren
The book features introductions by New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, Fire Commissioner Thomas Von Essen, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt.
