I've read other accounts of what happened on September 11th, and this was by far THE definitive book on the attacks on America. Portions of the North and South tower phone calls to 911 I found disturbing. Very sad.

This was quite a read!! I found it hard to fathom how some of these men survived living on the ice for months.
