A different and interesting perspective of September 11, 2001, through the words of a dozen Utica firefighters who went down to Ground Zero as part of the statewide mobilization in response to the terror attack in NYC. The prefaces by politicians are entirely too long but the first-hand accounts from the firefighters seem too short. As a bonus there is a short history of the Utica Fire Department at the end of the book and a nice In Memoriam to the Utica firefighters who have lost their lives protecting their city. ( )
