Summary: Ground Zero Volunteer Recommends book
Comment: I didn't read the newspapers or watch TV from Sept. 11th till about October sometime 2001.
My husband flew out of Boston on that morning and even though he landed safely at La Guardia Airport about 10 min. before the first plane hit, I was still so shaken up that I didn't want to get any more upset. I am a humanitarian and that's what I do full time and on a daily basis. I had to have my wits about me so I got all of my news off of the internet for about 15 min. in the evening before going to bed.
But I was extremely interested in what happened at Ground Zero and I even went to volunteer there at the beginning of October.
I read SECOND TOWER'S DOWN in less than 48 hours.
John McCole tells what it was like both physically and emotionally to go through this tragedy from day one. How often do you get to speak with a firefighter and have him tell his story?
This is a MUST READ. I especially liked his descriptions of his family and his interrelationships with his fellow "brothers", the FDNY, New York's finest.
Men who tell what they are thinking and what they are doing and how it affects them and what their opinions are about everyday situations always fascinate me. But Sept.11th was an experience like we've never had before and to be able to listen in while John McCole tells you in simple words and ideas how he survived being there and seeing what he saw is worth sitting down and experiencing.
If you want to help your local fire department then get 10 copies and deliver them in person or by mail to the different fire houses. I'm sure they would appreciate it.

Summary: The Second Tower's Down
Comment: This book is gut-wrenching. Lt. McCole took me right back into the bowels of the most horrible place on Earth following Sept 11, 01.
He recalls events with uncanny precision and fills the readers mind with a moving tapastry of the spirit-numbing horror which stunned our great nation.
He doesn't hold back anything and surprised me at his honesty. Few firefighters I know ever let others in that close to their soul.
He offers wisdom to a country that lost its remaining innocence and sound solutions for those that suffer health problems from serving at that horrible place.
I read it from cover to cover in one sitting...I had no other choice.
Thank you Brother John.

Summary: Firefighters experience during and after 9/11
Comment: The book reads well. I finished it in a week. I do wish the author would have given a bit more information about his own family history and past. The fact that he is divorced and has other children is divulged quite late in the book. I think he could also have gone more in depth about his feelings and those of his brother firefigheters.
