reviewed American Architectural History: A Contemporary Reader on May 15, 2020 American Architectural History: A Contemporary Reader
This is one of the best books I have read about 9-11. It felt like closure for me too.
I highly recommend it. That Tuesday in September is a day we all remember where we were and what we were doing I now have an insight into what some of the people who lived it, the sights sounds and smells were experiencing. Very powerful book.
