Then Came the Fire: Personal Accounts from the Pentagon, 11 September 2001 Center of Military History

Full color illustrations throughout. Two days after the September 11, 2001 attack, the U. S. Army Center of Military History began an extensive project to document the historic event through oral history interviews. Published on the incident's tenth anniversary, Then Came the Fire is an anthology of excerpts from those interviews. This collection highlights the personal accounts of participants who witnessed some aspect of the events in the Pentagon that day: the survivors, some of whom were injured; policemen; firefighters; medical personnel; observers; others involved in the rescue and recovery efforts; and building occupants.
