"September 11, 2002, began a new era in the United States of
America. The attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., and the
courage exhibited in those cities and in the skies over
Pennsylvania, changed forever the way Americans viewed their
security and their country's place in the world.
Shortly after the fateful day, the editors of LIFE created a
book on the attacks and their immediate aftermath. The goal of that
volume, ONE NATION : America Remembers September 11, 2001, was to
be a photographic and narrative record of the day, and the book was
praised in reviews and editorials. This volume aspires to pick up
where that book left off. In the tradition of classic LIFE picture
stories, the patriotism--and the tension--that has swept the
country is memorably evoked. A small church spared by the calamity
of Ground Zero finds its missionary cause. The legacy of a pilot
from a rural town endures on his farm, which continues to yield
produce for the poor. LIFE revisits several survivors of September
11 whose stories were told in ONE NATION, and finds both anxiety
and resilience.
President George W. Bush contributes a moving introduction to
THE AMERICAN SPIRIT, which also includes essays by David
McCullough, Melissa Fay Greene, James Bradley, and others. Gordon
Parks provides new poetry and photography. Other noted
photographers include Harry Benson, Joe McNally, James Salzano,
Abigail Seymour, Steve Simon, Shannon Stapleton, David Turnley, and
Denis Waugh. The singular record of Gregg Brown, who documented the
recovery of the World Trade Center site for eight months, is
presented her for the first time.
THE AMERICAN SPIRIT is about a country's bold effort to rise to
the challenges of this new era. It is a volume that will resonate
for generations to come."
