Now with a new afterword, Garrett M. Graff’s instant New York Times best seller The Only Plane in the Sky, the comprehensive oral history of September 11, 2001 called “history as its most immediate and moving” (Jon Meacham) and “remarkable...a priceless civic gift” (The Wall Street Journal).
Hailed as “remarkable...incredibly evocative and compelling” (The Washington Post) and “oral history at its finest” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Garrett M. Graff’s The Only Plane in the Sky is the most vivid and human portrait of the September 11 attacks yet, comprised of never-before-published transcripts, recently declassified documents, and original interviews and stories from nearly 500 government officials, first responders, witnesses, survivors, friends, and family members. Here is a vivid, profound, and searing portrait of humanity on a day that changed the course of history and all of our lives.

When Chief Joe Pfeifer led his firefighters to investigate an odor of gas in downtown Manhattan on the morning of 9/11, he had no idea that his life was about to change forever. A few moments later, he watched as the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Pfeifer, the closest FDNY chief to the scene, spearheaded rescue efforts on one of the darkest days in American history.

Histoire
Timothy McVeigh wanted to start a movement. Speaking to his lawyers days after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Gulf War veteran expressed no regrets: killing 168 people was his patriotic duty. New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin traces the dramatic history and profound legacy of Timothy McVeigh, who once declared, “I believe there is an army out there, ready to rise up, even though I never found it.” But that doesn’t mean his army wasn’t there. With news-breaking reportage, Toobin details how McVeigh’s principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001.

Histoire
In 1945, the Soviet Union controlled half of Europe and was a founding member of the United Nations. By 1991, it had an army four million strong, 5,000 nuclear-tipped missiles, and was the second biggest producer of oil in the world. But soon afterward, the union sank into an economic crisis and was torn apart by nationalist separatism. Its collapse was one of the seismic shifts of the 20th century.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 is a book exquisitely suited to audio format, a detailed cataloging of hundreds of personal stories, read by actors and culled from 5,000 oral histories conducted and archived around the country.... We hear from first responders, office workers in the twin towers, people traumatized by witnessing falling bodies.... Unlike many works of history, The Only Plane in the Sky, a mountain of indelible anecdotes, does not feel like a novel. It feels, instead, like dozens that ought to be written." (The New York Times Book Review)

One of a Kind
I deeply enjoyed reading this book in print, formidable historical testament to a turning point that it is, and I was really curious to see how it was rendered into audiobook form given its nature as an oral history. It did not disappoint. While anyone who has listened to real survivor accounts from 9/11 (such as in the 2021 Netflix documentary which Mr. Graff participated in the making of) will be able to tell that these are actor-read (save for Andy Card, Mark Tillman and a couple select well-known voices as themselves), they are still well-done by the large cast with respect and poignancy, only one or two readings here and there coming off slightly flat. There are some interesting choices made around certain items such as recordings of phone calls made from the planes - some which are transcribed word-for-word in the book and are quite arresting that way, fall flatter when the audiobook chooses to have the narrator summarize the content of the message instead, rather than read it exactly. I assume this was a choice made out of respect for the families, rather than having their lost loved ones' voices and last moments playacted by somebody. But since those last calls, last words, are some of the most striking material in the original text, something is a little lost in the impact of those passages with the way they are handled in the audiobook. But that is truly the only thing even remotely close to a complaint I could possibly summon. It's fully worth the listen anyway.

Very good
Best of all the 9-11 accounts I have listened to. I appreciated the way the book was sequenced chronologically, including perspectives from across spectrums of survivors, family members, official government activities, journalists and so on. The pace was thankfully no breathless, just steady. Keep listening after the Epilogue for an insightful interview with the author.

Incredible!
This was a very detailed narrative told from the point of view of many people, each one played by a voice actor. generation, the performance, everything was absolutely 5 out of five. I highly recommend this if you are interested in the human side of 9/11.

Excellent
This book was absolutely amazing to listen to. The chronological order of the events and the organization of the storyline is perfect to learn from. Should be mandatory listening for anyone who wants to hear the impact that these actions had on others.
