Book excerpt: This is the unique account of the Irish in the Twin Towers, from the man described as "the authentic voice of the Irish in America, who has more knowledge of this community than almost anyone else alive" (NY Times). When the towers came crashing down they took over a thousand Irish with them, from workers with illegal papers to second generation titans of Wall Street, to the hundreds of firemen and police officers, the backbone of Irish America for generations. Their inspiring and varied stories provide an important historical account of the that infamous day.
