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.
