Report from Ground Zero (Abridged): The Story of the Rescue Efforts at the World Trade Center Audiobook

" I found this book a good first hand account of what went on at the twin towers in New York on 911.The author is a former NY fireman and wrote books about the firemans life in NYC.I recomend this book to everyone. "

" I learned alot about the firefighters of 911. Dennis Smith is a good writer with a very different way of talking about the events and the firefighters who lived and died that day. "

" Another great one from Dennis Smith. Look for mention of my brave cousin Brian O'Flaherty...Battalion Chief FDNY..he didn't have to be there. Probably the next to last guy to see Ray Downey before he was killed. "

" A former firefighter tells of the rescue efforts at Ground Zero. We meet the heroes who helped and the ones who died. Many first hand accounts by public safety workers who felt free to talk to another firefighter and tell their story. "

" Very interesting! Definitely a good book and enlightening to hear it from the emergency responders' points of view, "

" Mostly oral history of the Sept. 11 attack, but it burned me out about halfway through it. "

" Having a family member escape simply makes this more than a book to read. Will the USA ever be the same? Doubt it. "

" WOW!!!! INCREDIBLE. The emotion, the determination, the courage. Need I say more.... "

" Well written and wonderful tribute to the firemen of New York. Everyone should read to better understand the terrible tragedy and the men who went into harm's way. It is thought provoking and emotional. Thanks to Dennis Smith for writing this. "

" Probably the single best book written about 9/11. Heart-breaking, as it should be. We should never forget what went on that day. "

" Heart-wrenching stories of those who worked in emergency services on 9/11/01. "

" Amazing book, by a retired New York City firefighter. Smith brought gritty realism to firefighting in Report From Engine Co. 82; and here he does the same for the fight to save lives during the September 11, 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center. Great read from an excellent author. "

" I found this book to be interesting yet it was a very slow read for me. I was falling asleep while reading it (which normally doesn't happen). I am glad I read it but I really liked the 102 Minutes (another book about 9/11) much better. "

" Absolutely gutwrenching, a book written by one of the legends of the FDNY. Read it. "

" Great account of the events of 9/11 and the following days told from a firefighter's perspective. "

" Eyewitness account of the events of Sept. 11, 2001 from Dennis Smith, a former NY Fireman. I read his other book, Report from Engine Co. 82. An outstanding author. So sad, so tragic. "

" This was a heart wrenching book to read, but it will make you feel like you were there that day. I really like this author - he writes with such realism you can't put his books down. He knows what he's talking about! "

" Dennis Smith tells his own tale of recoving bodies and cleaning up after 9-11. He puts a human face on the victims, many of whom he knew because he was a former New York firefighter. It was a good read. "

" This book made me proud to have been born and raised in New York. The sacrifices made by the selfless men and women from the NYPD, FDNY, and Port Authority on 9/11 will be remembered forever. God bless the heroes of 9/11 along with all the victims. "

" Heartbreaking, inspiring, poignant accounts of struggle for survival in the Twin Towers and coping in the aftermath of 9/11. Writing and storytelling is done by a retired NYC firefighter, already an accomplished author before he took on this project. "
