from Ground Zero: The Story of the Rescue Efforts at the World
Trade Center
"There is no center

writes Dennis Smith, a retired New York City firefighter. In
this diary of the three months following the attack, Smith combines
his own observations with interviews of those involved in the
work, creating a detailed day-by-day history of the massive
effort to find life among the ruins.

to rebuild. The guiding principle in assembling these 135 plus
