After September 11 : New York and the World

Reuters correspondents, photographers and graphic artists chronicle the rapid-fire pace of events after the attacks on the United States on September 11th 2001 - the impact on New York City, on the rest of the nation and the repercussions around the world.

Starting at Ground Zero, the book tells moving stories and shows fresh images from the site of the World Trade Center.The first section offers vivid insights into the lives of those most deeply affected - from those who toiled as rescuers to those who escaped from the twin towers and are now determined to rebuild their city.

Next, the book offers a unique snapshot of the United States, seeking to understand why the attacks took place and asking whether the nation has fundamentally changed or not.

It charts how America is coping with a new sense of vulnerability and dissects the ways in which September 11 has permeated everyday life.

In the final section, seasoned Reuters correspondents examine the shifting international alliances since September 11 and how conflicts from the Middle East to the confrontation between India and Pakistan came to be seen through the prism of America's response to the attacks.
