"A masterpiece of reporting . . . [102 Minutes] contains one story after another of harrowing escapes, immense heroism and heart-rending loss . . . Brilliant and troubling." -- The New York Times "The chief virtue of 102 Minutes, Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn's unsparing, eloquent history of the struggle to survive inside the World Trade Center, is the authors' insistence that truth supplants myth." --John Farmer (Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, former New Jersey Attorney General), The Washington Post Book World "It's just one of those great books of reporting, and you read it almost at one sitting with your hair on end. It tells you something about 9/11 that you may not have known before, and it does it by marshaling facts. "--Garrison Keillor "A heart-stopping, meticulous account . . . I suspect that you, like me, will read this book in a single suspenseful sitting, even though we know the ending." -- The New York Times Book Review "An astounding reconstruction of what happened inside the World Trade Center . . . These are stories, after all, you have to share."-- Newsweek "Exhaustively researched and smoothly written . . . Dwyer and Flynn's most impressive achievement: writing in a way that confers dignity on each subject. This is one book that will stay with most readers for a very long time." -- People "Insightful, compassionate . . . unmistakably affirming."-- The Sun (Baltimore) "For those of us haunted by the tragedy, an indispensable book." --O Magazine "Poignant, emotion-stirring and important...a story of how ordinary people exhibit extraordinary traits in times of peril."--Tom Walker, Denver Post "It took the authors three years to describe what happened in 102 minutes...The book is worth the wait." --Ingrid Ahlgren, Providence Journal "The writing - sometimes searing, sometimes factual but always appropriate - brings the human experience of disaster into focus." --Rosemary Herbert, Boston Herald, " A masterpiece of reporting . . .

Synopsis
" Searing, poignant, and utterly compelling-- "102 Minutes" does for the September 11 catastrophe what Walter Lord did for the Titanic in his masterpiece, "A Night to Remember,"" -- Rick Atkinson, author of "In the Company of Soldiers" and "An Army at Dawn" At 8: 46 am on September 11, 2001, 14,000 people were inside the twin towers. Over the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with rescuers and survivors, thousands of pages of oral histories, and countless phone, e-mail, and emergency radio transcripts," New York Times" reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn tell the story of September 11 from the inside looking out, weaving together the stories of ordinary men and women into an epic account of struggle, determination, and grace. Hailed immediately upon its hardcover publication as the definitive account of that terrible morning, "102 Minutes" now contains a new Afterword that incorporates powerful firsthand material, including tapes and documents, that Dwyer and Flynn recently obtained after more than three years of litigation with the city of New York. Eight weeks on the "New York Times" bestseller list and translated into a dozen languages, "102 Minutes" is a gripping narrative that is also investigative reporting of the first rank-- " in a class by itself, " according to "Reader' s Digest," Dwyer and Flynn reveal the decisions, both good and bad, that proved to be the difference between life and death on a day that changed America forever., The dramatic and moving account of the struggle for life inside the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, when every minute counted At 8:46 am on September 11, 2001, 14,000 people were inside the twin towers-reading e-mails, making trades, eating croissants at Windows on the World. Over the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages, one witnessed only by the people who lived it-until now. Of the millions of words written about this wrenching day, most were told from the outside looking in. New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn have taken the opposite-and far more revealing-approach. Reported from the perspectives of those inside the towers, 102 Minutes captures the little-known stories of ordinary people who took extraordinary steps to save themselves and others. Beyond this stirring panorama stands investigative reporting of the first rank. An astounding number of people actually survived the plane impacts but were unable to escape, and the authors raise hard questions about building safety and tragic flaws in New York's emergency preparedness. Dwyer and Flynn rely on hundreds of interviews with rescuers, thousands of pages of oral histories, and countless phone, e-mail, and emergency radio transcripts. They cross a bridge of voices to go inside the infernos, seeing cataclysm and heroism, one person at a time, to tell the affecting, authoritative saga of the men and women-the nearly 12,000 who escaped and the 2,749 who perished-as they made 102 minutes count as never before. 102 Minutes is a 2005 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction., By 8:46 A.M. on September 11, 2001, 14,000 people had arrived at the World Trade Center's twin towers, ready to start their workdays. Instead, over the next 102 minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages. In 102 Minutes, Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn draw on hundreds of interviews with rescuers and survivors, thousands of pages of oral histories, and countless phone, e-mail, and emergency radio transcripts to tell the story of September 11 from the inside looking out. From the words and deeds of ordinary men and women they weave an epic account of struggle, determination, and grace. Hailed upon its hardcover publication as the definitive account of the events at the World Trade Center, 102 Minutes now contains a new afterword that incorporates powerful firsthand material, including tapes and documents recently obtained by the authors after years of litigation. Book jacket., "New York Times" reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn capture the little-known stories of ordinary people who took extraordinary steps to save themselves and others inside the World Trade Center on September 11--the saga of the nearly 12,000 who escaped and the 2,749 who perished.
