THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'The farewell calls from the
planes... the mounting terror of air traffic control... the mothers
who knew they were witnessing their loved ones perish... From an
author who's spent 5 years reconstructing its horror, never has the
story been told with such devastating, human force' Daily Mail This
is a 9/11 book like no other. Masterfully weaving together multiple
strands of the events in New York, at the Pentagon, and in
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, Fall and Rise is a mesmerising,
minute-by-minute account of that terrible day. In the days and
months after 9/11, Mitchell Zuckoff, then a reporter for the Boston
Globe, wrote about the attacks, the victims, and their families.
After further years of meticulous reporting, Zuckoff has filled
Fall and Rise with voices of the lost and the saved. The result is
an utterly gripping book, filled with intimate stories of people
most affected by the events of that sunny Tuesday in September: an
out-of-work actor stuck in an elevator in the North Tower of the
World Trade Center; the heroes aboard Flight 93 deciding to take
action; a veteran trapped in the inferno in the Pentagon; the fire
chief among the first on the scene in sleepy Shanksville; a team of
firefighters racing to save an injured woman and themselves; and
the men, women, and children flying across country to see loved
ones or for work who suddenly faced terrorists bent on murder. Fall
and Rise will open new avenues of understanding for everyone who
thinks they know the story of 9/11, bringing to life - and in some
cases, bringing back to life - the extraordinary ordinary people
who experienced the worst day in modern American history. Destined
to be a classic, Fall and Rise will move, shock, inspire, and fill
hearts with love and admiration for the human spirit as it triumphs
in the face of horrifying events.
