Description
“A riveting step-by-step account of the day . . . The technique of
letting the witnesses tell the story does a remarkable job of bringing
to life the horrific day in a way that a writerâ€s narrative would have
a hard time matching. . . . It makes for a gripping read—and a
reminder of the country at its best while under attack.― —Will
Lester, Associated Press “Graff has woven a powerful, graphic
narrative of how September 11 played out everywhere from the
International Space Station to the inside of the collapsing World Trade
Center towers. . . . I repeatedly cried. I could feel my pulse elevate.
I often had to put it down after a dozen pages. But I think thatâ€s the
point of the book. September 11 was terrible and confusing, and the more
time passes, sometimes the harder that is to remember. No matter how
much we try to describe those feelings to children who didnâ€t live
through them, something will be lost in the translation and telling.
This book captures the emotions and unspooling horror of the day. It
will be a good text to hand to a curious teenager when he one day asks:
What was September 11 really like?― —Scott Detrow, NPR “Over 64
fine-sliced chapters, Mr. Graff . . . gives us ‘the stories of those
who lived through and experienced 9/11—where they were, what they
remember, and how their lives changed.†The result is remarkable, and
Mr. Graffâ€s curation of these accounts—drawn from hundreds of his
own interviews and from the reporting of other journalists and
historians—is a priceless civic gift. . . . The book is refreshingly
free from editorializing, ideology and ululation. It gives us instead
poignant, often distressing, vignettes and impressions of the day and
its aftermath. On page after page, a reader will encounter words that
startle, or make him angry, or heartbroken, or queasy.― —Tunku
Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal “Remarkable . . . Incredibly
evocative and compelling . . . Allows you to experience this fateful day
in an intimately visceral fashion, starting with the ordinary (the sky
was gorgeously blue) and progressing to confusion, fear, numbness, and
grief. . . . By letting those who were present tell stories in their own
words, Graff has created a remarkably effective and deeply moving
history. Be careful if you read this book in public—at some point you
may encounter a story or detail that will bring back memories that
overwhelm you.― —Lucinda Robb, The Washington Post “An ambitious
oral history of 9/11 from the perspective of nearly everyone

involved—from Laura Bush to the first firefighter on the scene to the
young gate agent who checked the hijackers†plane tickets. Every
single line is breathtaking and heartbreaking, weaving together the
story of previously unimaginable and tragic events that changed the
course of history.― —Newsweek “Compelling . . . The voices in The
Only Plane in the Sky are so vivid. . . . There are snippets in
Graffâ€s oral history from those who perished—messages for loved ones
left by office workers stranded on the upper floors of the towers; calls
from flight attendants and passengers aboard United Flight 93 that were
recorded or remembered. But most of the voices in the book belong to
survivors. That may explain, at least in part, why The Only Plane in
the Sky manages to feel hopeful. . . . Eventually, of course, all of us
who remember 9/11 will be gone, and some of our stories will be
forgotten. But, thanks to Graffâ€s fine work, many will endure.―
—Jay Carney, Air Mail “A harrowing account of the September 11
attacks, told through the voices of many who were personally affected.
Graff weaves together the stories of airline workers, first responders,
generals at the Pentagon and more to contextualize and seek to further
understand the trauma, humanity and history of 9/11.― —Time magazine
(“The 42 Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2019―)“Oral history at its
finest . . . Graffâ€s skillful organization and flawless pacing allows
him to present multiple perspectives, quickly shifting locations and
points of view around the country, to follow every moment. The result is
a smooth-flowing, moving and thoroughly human narrative with emotional
impact, a sense of detail and immediacy more powerful and moving than
any dramatic film or documentary.― —Rich Kienzle, Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette “Much has been written over the past 18 years about 9/11, but
none have told the story of that day as powerfully and intimately . . .
Sure to become an essential addition to the literature of 9/11, it is
the only panoramic account of the day told by the people who experienced
it. . . . Graff has created an enduring portrait of a day that changed
the world forever, a day that the world will never forget.― —Joel
Meador, The Messenger “Graff excels at re-creating the anxiety and
terror of that day . . . Rea
