FDNY Battalion Chief Joseph Pfeifer recounts the harrowing work of his team of firefighters at Ground Zero on 9/11 and the days that followed.
What The Reviewers Say
A soft-spoken former seminarian, he relays what he thought, saw and did that day without swagger or mawkishness, even during gut-punch moments.
Pfeifer recounts the horrific day as he narrowly escapes the collapse of the North Tower. The terror and confusion is palpable as he writes of making it back to the station and attempting to account for his brethren. Noteworthy for its straightforwardness, Pfeifer’s memoir is painful, yet powerful..
A heartfelt, affecting book that sheds new light on one of the darkest moments in recent history..
