Just 36 hours after an unspeakable national tragedy, award-winning journalist Bill Moyers began a unique dialogue with an unparalleled and diverse group of guests. Each of eight interviews explores both our personal and public experiences, moving us through fear, anger, and grief on toward healing and hope. Together, they shed light and perspective on a very dark moment in America's history.
Originally broadcast on PBS, Moyers brings together key experts to provide valuable insight and perspective on the social and political implications of this tragedy. Among his guests are best selling author Robert Jay Lifton - who describes the apocalyptic ambitions of Osama Bin Laden and Tamim Ansary, the Afghan-American author of "the email heard round the world." With additional commentary from choreographer Bill T. Jones, Broadway director and designer Julie Taymor, and others these poised and clear voices soothe a wounded yet resilient nation.
Both intimate and timeless, The 11th of September: Moyers In Conversation creates a collective and moving experience. Asia snapshot, these conversations encapsulate our nation's reactions at a specific moment, yet remaina testament to the indomitable human spirit for all time.

Two days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Bill Moyers began interviewing people about the significance of what had happened. It may have seemed too soon for such reflection, yet one could make the case that thoughts expressed by Moyers's guests in the immediate aftermath entirely outclass the countless hours of news and analysis shows that followed. The interviews are vintage Moyers, who sits and quietly speaks one-on-one with such people as author Robert J. Lifton, Harvard religion professor Diana Eck, theatrical director Julie Taymor, and Afghan-American editor and writer Tamim Ansary (whose passionate explanatory e-mail about Afghanistan was widely circulated on the Internet soon after the attacks). People talk of good and evil, religion and mythology, heroism and humanity, all with a level of nuance never to be found on the cable network shoutfests. No one raises his or her voice, yet much of what is said will resonate in one's thoughts after the TV tube has grown cold. --Robert J. McNamara - Amazon.com
