Synopsis

The Twin Towers were a proud symbol of New York's dynamism, energy, and vital importance in international commerce. When they fell on September 11, 2001, killing thousands, a city was left heartbroken and shocked. World Trade Center pays homage to the creative talent that made these extraordinary structures possible. It follows the entire life of the Towers, from their construction to their tragic destruction, through a huge selection of stunning and nostalgic photographs. But the book also looks to the future with hope, moving beyond the catastrophe to see a future when a rebuilt Ground Zero flourishes again.
