David Friend has written one of the most gripping books about September 11th.
Watching the World Change: The Stories Behind the Images of 9/11 uses the images of that day as a starting point. Friend discusses the subjects and the photographers, telling stories of that day and the days that followed. He then broadens the discussion to the broader use and meaning of the imagery.
It's that wider analysis that transforms what could have been simply an agonizing read into an enlightening one.
