Anyone over the age of thirty remembers what they stopped doing at around 2.15 p.m. Irish time on 11 September 2001. They stopped doing it to turn on their televisions and watch the drama and tragedy of the Al Qaeda attacks on the United States play out, with, in particular the spectacular destruction of Twin Towers. Robbyn Swan’s investigation of those events, The Eleventh Day: The Full Story of 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden, written with her husband, Anthony Summers, won the Crime Writers Association’s Gold Dagger for Non-fiction, and was a Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History.
