102 Minutes: the Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn - (One of the survivors of the towers wrote that this is the most accurate book detailing what happened inside the towers after the planes struck) It reads like a novel and focuses on specific individuals inside the towers on that day. At the end of the book the reader discovers who survived and who did not. Very sad but hard to put down.
