Magnum photographers are among the best in the world, and fortunately for us and for history, a lot of them were in New York City on Sept.11. The photo agency had brought several of them into town for a meeting the day before. Many of these highly experienced photojournalists raced to the site or to other spots in the city when they heard or saw the planes hit the towers, and our knowledge of the disaster is so much deeper for their efforts. Together, through their different personal lenses, they’ve compiled an important historical record of the attack and its effects on the city. This book is a wonderful collection of pictures
