List of books about the September 11 attacks

This is an incomplete list of books about the September 11 attacks. In the more than 10 years since the September 11, 2001 attacks, dozens of books have been published that focus specifically on the topic or on subtopics such as just the attacks on World Trade Towers in New York City.

A number of publications have released their own rankings of books about 9-11. The Guardian, in September 2011, provided a listing by three panelists of what they felt to be the 20 best.[1] Five books were identified as best by another September 2011 review in TODAY.[2] Research-oriented books have also been reviewed.[3]

Richard Gray's After the Fall: American Literature Since 9/11 reviews novels about September 11. According to a book reviewer, Gray "views 9/11 under the spectrum of the Fall, a 'recurrent tendency in American writing…to identify crisis as a descent from innocence to experience [and] reinstates it in the context of national narrative and builds a strong argument that American literature since 9/11 has been a literature of crisis which mixes the strange with the familiar."[4]
