This effort may well emerge as the finest hour in the paper's distinguished 150-year history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In an unprecedented commitment, the \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e assigned one of its most skilled reporters, Richard Bernstein, to turn the newspaper's brilliant and incisive reporting into a riveting narrative of September 11th. Following the lives of heroes, victims, and terrorists, Bernstein weaves a complex tale of a multitude of lives colliding in conflagration on that fateful morning. He takes us inside the Al Qaeda organization and the lives of the terrorists, from their indoctrination into radical Islam to the harrowing moments aboard the aircraft as they raced toward their terrible destiny. We meet cops and firefighters, and become intimate with some of the Trade Center workers who were lost on that day. We follow the lives of the rest of America--ordinary citizens and national leaders alike--in the hours and days after the attack. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Finally, Bernstein chronicles the nation's astonishing response in the aftermath. No account of this singular moment in American history will be as sharp, readable, and authoritative as \u003ci\u003eOut of the Blue\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn twenty plus years with \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003eRichard Bernstein\u003c\/b\u003e has served as bureau chief at the United Nations and in Paris, as national cultural reporter, and currently as a daily book critic.
