"I read this book b/c my husband did, and it's the first book he's read for fun in a long time. It definitely brings back the events of 9-11, and renewed my respect for what firefighters face when they get called to an emergency."
"This was another book I picked up at the station where I work. Read it in two days! Not a bad read at all. Richard Picciotto an FDNY Battalion Commander was in the World trade center on September 11th 2001 with a group of firefighters and one civilian when it collapsed sending him and the others into a fight for survival. This story gives me chills knowing what those firefighters were up against that dreadful day. And a whole new level of respect for the courage and sacrifices made that day. A true testament to the human spirit!"
