Years in the making, this spellbinding and ultimately uplifting narrative offers an unforgettable portrait of 9/11. It masterfully weaves together multiple strands of events in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, providing a mesmerizing, minute-by-minute account of that tragic day. Mitchell Zuckoff, then a reporter for the Boston Globe, covered the attacks, victims, and their families. After years of meticulous reporting, he fills this work with the voices of the lost and the saved. The result is a gripping account filled with intimate stories of those most affected: an out-of-work actor stuck in an elevator in the North Tower; heroes aboard Flight 93 taking action; a veteran trapped in the Pentagon; 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 who thinks they know the story of 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's resilience in the face of horror.
