Maggiori informazioni sul libro

"In the tradition of Studs Terkel, DiMarco's literary time capsule includes a wide variety of viewpoints, including: the small group of people who miraculously made it safely down from the 89th floor of Tower 1, the New York Times reporter who desperately fought her way through the fleeing crowds to get back into Lower Manhattan, the paramedic who set up a triage area 200 yards from the base of the Towers before they collapsed, and the bereaved citizens of New York City who struggled to get on with their lives in the days and months following the tragic event, among dozens of others. The original edition of Tower Stories was one of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed books on 9/11 ever published, and for this 20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition, DiMarco has conducted additional interviews that offer a contemporary perspective on the 9/11 tragedy. The individuals DiMarco interviewed for the new edition include: Alice Greenwald (President and CEO of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum); Father Jim Martin (New York Times bestselling author); Tom Haddad (survivor of the 89th floor, Tower 1); Stephen Adly Guirgis (Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright)"--Google Books
