Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11

Více o knize

Years in the making, this spellbinding and ultimately uplifting narrative offers an unforgettable portrait of 9/11. It masterfully weaves together multiple strands of the events in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, providing a minute-by-minute account of that terrible day. Mitchell Zuckoff, a reporter for the Boston Globe at the time, wrote extensively about the attacks, victims, and their families. After years of meticulous reporting, he filled this work with the voices of both the lost and the saved. The result is a gripping collection of intimate stories from those most affected by that fateful Tuesday: an out-of-work actor trapped in an elevator in the North Tower; heroes aboard Flight 93 taking action; a veteran caught in the Pentagon inferno; a fire chief responding in Shanksville; firefighters racing to save an injured woman; and passengers flying across the country who suddenly faced terrorists. This narrative opens new avenues of understanding for anyone familiar with 9/11, bringing to life the extraordinary ordinary people who experienced the worst day in modern American history. Destined to be a classic, it will move, shock, inspire, and fill hearts with admiration for the human spirit amid horrifying events.
