Book Guide

Two-time Sibert Honoree, Orbis Pitcus and YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction winner Don Brown turns to one of the most defining tragedies of our time: September 11, 2001.

The consequences of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, both political and personal, were vast and continue to reverberate today.  Don Brown brings his journalistic eye and attention to moving individual stories to help readers contextualize what they may already know about the day, as well as broaden their understanding of the chain of events that occurred in the attack's wake.

Profound, troubling, and deeply moving, In the Shadow of the Fallen Towers bears witness to our history—and the many ways it shapes our present.
