A masterpiece of historical scholarship.'--Douglas Brinkley, the Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University, and author of�American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great SpaceRace��'Fall and Rise�reads as a compelling jigsaw puzzle: an everyday Tuesday morning abruptly shattered, cleaving our collective memory into a pre- and post-September 11, 2001. Mitchell Zuckoff proceeds to reassemble and interlock clusters of those pieces, creating a portrait of fate's arbitrary operations while exposing the threads of human connectivity at the heart of these convulsive events. We can see ourselves reflected in the mirror of those lives that Zuckoff has restored through rigorous research,sensitive listening, and artful storytelling. Infused with empathy,�Fall and Rise�dignifies not only the individuals profiled in his book but all who were violated by the terrorist attacks of 9/11.'--Jan Ramirez, chief curator and executive vice president of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum�'Fall and Rise�is the 9/11 book we've been waiting for. A terrific storyteller and gifted researcher,�Mitchell Zuckoff has rendered that world-changing day on a scale both intimate and monumental.�This is narrative history at its very best.'--Cokie Roberts,�New York Times�bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning journalist��'Better and more comprehensive than any prior account.'--John Farmer, senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission and author of�The Ground Truth'The horror and heroism of 9/11 are brought to life in this panoramic history.�...�The result is a superb, harrowing retelling of this most dramatic of stories.'�--PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY (Starred Review)�'Despite the story's sprawling cast, which could have sabotaged a book by a less-skilled author, Zuckoff ably handles all of the complexities.�...[A]s contemporary history,�Fall and Rise�is a clear and moving success.'--KIRKUS REVIEWS (Starred Review)� Read more From the Back Cover Years in the making, this spellbinding, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, uplifting narrative is an indelible portrait of 9/11.Fall and Rise masterfully weaves together the interrelated strands of the events in New York City; in Washington, D.C.; and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to create the first minute-by-minute history of that horrendous day.In the hours, weeks, and months after 9/11, Mitchell Zuckoff, then a reporter for the Boston Globe, wrote about the attacks, the victims, and their families. After years of meticulous research and reporting on that infamous day, Zuckoff has filled Fall and Rise with the voices of the lost and the saved. The result is an utterly gripping book, a telling of some of the most intimate stories of people irrevocably affected by the events of that sunny Tuesday morning in September 2001: an out-of-work actor stuck in an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center; the heroes deciding to take action aboard Flight 93; 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 in planes flying across the country to see loved ones or for work who suddenly found themselves among terrorists bent on murder.Fall and Rise will open new avenues of understanding for all who think 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 is a testament to the human spirit as it triumphs over evil. This is a 9/11 book like no other. Read more See all Editorial Reviews
