9/11

I can recommend two good books on 9/11. The first is the 9/11 report. It is a bit distressing to compare the recommendations with the policy result. It's a good read, and an amazingly good read for a government report.

102 Minutes is the story of what went on in the Towers between first impact and final collapse. It's a rivetting read and highlights the heroism of the first responders as well as the foresight of some of the emergency managers.
