Synopsis:

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. New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn rely on hundreds of interviews; thousands of pages of oral histories; and 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 12,000 who escaped and the 2,749 who perished -- who made 102 minutes count as never before.

Book Reviews:

"[A] masterpiece of reporting....102 MINUTES is a book riveting enough to be read in a sitting, but I suspect that many readers will find it too emotionally debilitating to do so....[A] brilliant and troubling book...."

New York Times - Kevin Baker (01/21/2005)

""[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."

New York Times Book Review - James B. Stewart (01/09/2005)
