The BBC Reports

The BBC Reports is a stunning collection of essays written by some of the foremost journalists in the world who have traversed the globe from hot spot to hot spot. The book is insightful, written with the clarity that years of accumulative experience can yield. There are fifteen different authors sharing their opinions on diverse topics related to 9/11. Everything from the actual event to the aftermath and all the repercussions are discussed. The topics included deal with the world economy, the limelight cast on various politicians from around the world and of course the effect on the USA and it's relationships with the rest of the planet. Since each chapter is an individual essay it is easy to go through this book quickly. One of the many interesting chapters is the final chapter written by Alan Little(a correspondent who reported on the collapse of Communist rule in Eastern Europe) who shares his views on the New World Order that may result from the seismographic events of 9/11.The perspectives are as varied as the topics covered. It is hard to pick a particular writer or expert but suffice to say that each contributes based on their expertise, analyzing the events based upon their years of experience in the field as reporters who have witnessed the major events of our times firsthand. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in one of the major events of this generation and what it quite possibly means for the future.

I was a surviving victim of the World Trade Center attack. I managed to escape minutes before the first building fell. Relatives and friends all across the world contacted my home that day to see if I was ok. I sent an email out that night o everyone of my well being and the events that I witnessed. Someone sent a copy of my email to the BBC. The BBC then contacted me for an interview. Weeks later this book, as well as the UK version "The Day That Shook The World" was written.I read the book several times and it was written very well.
