Fall and Rise

The Story of 9/11

De: Mitchell Zuckoff

Narrado por: Mitchell Zuckoff, Sean Pratt

“Better and more comprehensive than any prior account. . . . Those of us who lived through those days will find the book cathartic; those rising generations who were too young to remember 9/11, or who weren’t yet born, will find it revelatory.” —John Farmer, senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission and author of The Ground Truth

“With his rigorous research and moral clarity, Mitchell Zuckoff has provided us with an invaluable service. He has deepened our understanding of what happened on 9/11 and recorded the voices of the victims and the survivors. What’s more, he has ensured that we never forget.” —David Grann, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon

Years in the making, this spellbinding, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting narrative is an unforgettable portrait of 9/11

This is a 9/11 book like no other. Masterfully weaving together multiple strands of the events in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, Fall and Rise is a mesmerizing, minute-by-minute account of that terrible day.

In the days and months after 9/11, Mitchell Zuckoff, then a reporter for the Boston Globe, wrote about the attacks, the victims, and their families. After further years of meticulous reporting, Zuckoff has filled Fall and Rise with voices of the lost and the saved. The result is an utterly gripping book, filled with intimate stories of people most affected by the events of that sunny Tuesday in September: an out-of-work actor stuck in an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center; the heroes aboard Flight 93 deciding to take action; a veteran trapped in the inferno in the Pentagon; the fire chief among the first on the scene in sleepy Shanksville; a team of firefighters racing to save an injured woman and themselves; and the men, women, and children flying across country to see loved ones or for work who suddenly faced terrorists bent on murder.

Fall and Rise will open new avenues of understanding for everyone who thinks they know the story of 9/11, bringing to life—and in some cases, bringing back to life—the extraordinary ordinary people who experienced the worst day in modern American history.

Destined to be a classic, Fall and Rise will move, shock, inspire, and fill hearts with love and admiration for the human spirit as it triumphs in the face of horrifying events.

Life Changing

If you think that you can stop listening to a story you think you knew..I challenge you to stop listening to this amazing writer. You will have a new perspective on life forever. You must get this book to appreciate the life we have now. Bravo and thank you Mitchell Zuckoff.

Stunning

This author has masterfully and brilliantly woven together the events and stories of those who lost their lives and those who survived into one seamless account. I appreciate being able to learn about these accounts and reflect on the lives impacted by this tragedy.

I could not help but think, this is a love story; or love stories. While terror seemingly reigned on 9/11/01, love was present through it all. The love of others emerged when the terrorists carried out their act of supreme hatred.

In the end, love is all we need.

Touching, relevant and moving, this book is a treasure.

Extremely detailed and respective accounts of the 911 tragedy. this should be required reading for all Americans. Well written and well read, this was a fantastic purchase that I will for sure revisit.

Amazing one of the best

Long but amazing and detailed tribute to both survivors, families, firefighters, air traffic controllers and port authorities. A must listen

Amazing!

as someone who was in high school when 9/11 happened, I find this novel strikingly pulling at my heartstrings in the depths of my soul. the way this book is written makes you feel like you are there with every single person that is spoke of in that book. it's purely a work of art and an incredible memorial to read. I would go as far to say that not only is this book interesting and captures your mind that I would also proposed that this become a part of high School curriculum for all generations to read what it happened on 9/11.

A work that brings perspective

This book is a well researched, compassionately written tribute to the heroes and victims of one of the most tragic days in modern American history. Zuckoff's work transformed the numbers into people with names and personalities and lives and families and friends, real people. I wept again for those we lost and their potential for so much more good that will never be realized.

Great Book

No other way to describe this except to say it's a great book. The research, writing and narration all rise to the top. I have read, watched and listened to a lot about 9/11 and there is so much in this book that is new. And it's presented so well. Buy this book.

Heart wrenching

Be prepared to shed tears. The stories are very personal and very heart touching.
Highly recommend it.

Must read/listen

This was an amazingly researched and written account of the entire day of 9/1/2001. I experienced all the feels… empathy, agony, shock… tears of sadness at the destruction and death…and tears of joy in the moments of community and heroism.

As others have said, this should be required reading for every American.

Well done Mr. Zuckoff.
