Delsohn has collected the personal feelings of firefighters and paramedics with regard to a host of issues ranging from fear, danger, brotherhood, and even the little things. Over one hundred men and women are represented. It's interesting and often poignant revealing the human side of a profession that took a real hit on 9/11 (it was published in 1996 so there are no references to that memorable event.) I wish sometimes the individuals could have been a bit more detailed, but it's a nice representative sample.… (mehr)
As a Notre Dame fan, this was an absolute treasure. So many behind-the-scenes stories and interviews that shed new light onto one of college football's most storied programs. A MUST read for any Irish fan.
Pretty much what it says on the tin: training stories, war stories, discussions of the EMT aspects of the job as well as the firefighting. Engaging and gives you a better sense of the good and bad reasons people run into burning buildings.

That kills me because all of us Dodger fans said that last sentence over and over during Steve's throwing issues! Lol! Second best quote? Lasorda's rant about Kingman's 3 homer day against LA! I love the Dodgers, so this book was my cup of tea! And I started reading it on the first day of spring training games this year, so that felt even better! This book covers the Dodgers from 1957-2001, and it tells the story through quotes of those that were there! Good stuff all the way through, though Chapter 7, The Roseboro-Marichal Brawl, was my favorite! Roseboro's quotes are hilarious! And I had never known all of that detail about that day, 'till now!
I will take umbrage though with the author's description of Tim McCarver. He writes about Tim, "Now a brilliant TV analyst for Fox, ...". What the? Brilliant? I could not disagree more! McCarver was as bad as Joe Buck is now, if not worse. Delsohn, where did that come from? I hope you were forced to write that, otherwise I'm a bit suspicious of your ability to discern what the word brilliant means.
Besides that, a good book, and a great deal of fun for Dodger fans!… (mehr)
