New Book from Laurie Garrett

Dear Colleague,

With the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 and anthrax attacks approaching, I wanted to let you know about a new eBook by Laurie Garrett, director of CFR’s Global Health program, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and author of two prior bestellsers. I Heard the Sirens Scream: How Americans Responded to the 9/11 and Anthrax Attacks is the result of eight years of investigation and research and provides a narrative for the events that unfolded between early September 2001 and late January 2002.

The first part of the eBook is a firsthand account of the 120 days following September 11, 2001, through a compilation of daily missives Garrett sent to close friends and colleagues. The second part examines what was in the plume of smoke and debris that blew up from the World Trade Center for three months, and was inhaled by millions. It also offers insight into the anthrax investigation and attacks. Garrett determines that the political lessons derived from the events were largely incorrect.

I Heard the Sirens Scream: How Americans Responded to the 9/11 and Anthrax Attacks has been self-published by Garrett, and is only available on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/HEARD-SIRENS-SCREAM-Americans-ebook/dp/B005DFHYQK/.

You can also visit Garrett’s website at www.lauriegarrett.com, where never-before-seen photographs of the events can be viewed and visitors can add their own personal 9/11 stories or reactions to the book.
