Recently, I finished reading With Their Eyes, edited by Annie Thoms. Originally a play, this book was written about the events of September 11, 2001, and is told through the eyes of people at Stuyvesant High School--four blocks from ground zero. Over the course of the story, you hear the experiences of students witnessing the tragedy, teachers unsure of how to react, custodians responsible for the cleanup, and many more that will show you different views of September 11, and let you know what the tragedy was like from their perspective. I really enjoyed With Their Eyes, and recommend it to anyone in high school looking for a good nonfiction book.
