Through the kind of intimate portraits that are Halberstam's trademark, readers see a typical day in a firehouse unfold--the men called to duty, while their families wait anxiously for news of them. In addition, they come to understand the culture of the firehouse itself.

Great insight
David Halberstam gives us great insight into what it was like to have been a fireman and firemans family in Manhattan on and around 9-11 tragedy--and just the general vibe of a NYC firehouse. No one writes quite like David---he had an uncanny ability to sift through the information and give us pretty much exactly what we would want to know----not too lean or too wordy---hard to describe, just read it for yourself if you see fit.
