This book was on a list that I looked up about wildfire disasters. It is clearly not about that, but I suppose it made it on the list because it was written by a fireman and covers the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, which, by all rights, was certainly a disaster. I have read a couple of books about the WTC attacks, however none were written from the perspective of anyone who was inside the buildings. I grew up in a fire fighting family, so I understand how heavy the gear was. I cannot imagine dragging all that stuff up all those flights of stairs. I cannot imagine the absolute chaos inside those buildings and in the city itself. This was a very good book, and I really liked seeing this from the perspective of an emergency response person. I would very much suggest picking this book up if you are interested in September 11 or firefighting in general.
