August 7th meeting for True Crime Readers

This month, we are researching one of the crimes of the century: 9-11, the first massive coordinated direct attack on our country since Pearl Harbor. What do we really know about the disaster and how did it shape our collective national conscience and culture? Who suffered and who sought to benefit? What heroes emerged and how many died?

There are numerous podcasts and streaming video (The Day the World Stood Still, WTC 9-11-01 Day of Disaster). I recommend reading any or all of these titles: The 9-11 Commission Report, 102 Minutes , the fight to survive the Twin Towers, and The Only Plane in the Sky, an oral history of 9-11.
I also recommend looking up the 9-11 memorial website: Top-Rated 9/11 Memorial & Museum Tours | Ground Zero Tours
