Tower Stories: The Autobiography of September 11th

In the tradition of Studs Terkel's The Good War and the Roosevelt Administration's Slave Narratives, Damon DiMarco has offered a lasting literary contribution of inestimable importance to American culture. The policemen ... the firemen ... paramedics ... witnesses ... volunteers ... business owners ... theoreticians ... the bereaved of 9/11 ... herein their voices are preserved for all time. So that we, their contemporary countrymen and citizens of a peace-loving world can hear them and share in their intimate understanding of that horrible day. So that our children and grandchildren will inherit a point of reference from which to begin their quest for answers. In our fast-paced technological society, in a modern political world fraught with staggeringly complex international relations ... today -- more than ever before -- there is a dire need to pause and bear witness. Our mission must be to never forget. Tower Stories fulfills this promise. By capturing the voices of the people who were there, it truly offers "the autobiography of September 11th," the definitive account of the day that shaped the political landscape of the 21st century.
