Relates the events of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon, discussing the search for the people responsible, response from other countries and from the United States government, and the heroism of rescuers.

This highly accessible series explores key dates in history: what happened on the day and the background and consequences of the event. Each title tells the story in a crisp, fast-paced style and colour and black and white photos, map and timeline support the text. The books are perfect quick-read introductions to the dramatic events, and equally useful as high interest / low reading level books.
