Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. “This is history at its most immediate and moving…A marvelous and memorable book.” —Jon Meacham. “Remarkable…A priceless civic gift…On page after page, a reader will encounter words that startle, or make him angry, or heartbroken.” —The Wall Street Journal. “Had me turning each page with my heart in my throat…There’s been a lot written about 9/11, but nothing like this. I urge you to read it.” —Katie Couric. The Only Plane in the Sky is the first comprehensive oral history of September 11, 2001—a sweeping account told entirely through firsthand voices. Using never-before-published transcripts, declassified documents, original interviews, and oral histories from nearly five hundred first responders, officials, witnesses, survivors, and family members, Garrett Graff delivers the most vivid portrait of the 9/11 attacks yet. From airport ticket counters in the early morning, to the hijacked planes, to New York’s first responders facing unimaginable horror, to the White House bunker and fighter jets in the sky, the book captures the real-time experiences of ordinary people facing extraordinary events. This powerful narrative honors the courage, sacrifice, and humanity displayed across the nation on a day that changed history.
