This is a 9/11 book like no other. Masterfully weaving together multiple strands of the events in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, Fall and Rise is a mesmerising, minute-by-minute account of that terrible day.
In the days and months after 9/11, Mitchell Zuckoff, then a reporter for the Boston Globe, wrote about the attacks, the victims, and their families. After further years of meticulous reporting, Zuckoff has filled Fall and Rise with voices of the lost and the saved. The result is an utterly gripping book, filled with intimate stories of people most affected by the events of that sunny Tuesday in September: an out-of-work actor stuck in an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center; the heroes aboard Flight 93 deciding to take action; a veteran trapped in the inferno in the Pentagon; the fire chief among the first on the scene in sleepy Shanksville; a team of firefighters racing to save an injured woman and themselves; and the men, women, and children flying across country to see loved ones or for work who suddenly faced terrorists bent on murder.
Fall and Rise will open new avenues of understanding for everyone who thinks they know the story of 9/11, bringing to life - and in some cases, bringing back to life - the extraordinary ordinary people who experienced the worst day in modern American history.
Destined to be a classic, Fall and Rise will move, shock, inspire, and fill hearts with love and admiration for the human spirit as it triumphs in the face of horrifying events.

Frozen in Time is a gripping true story of survival, bravery, and honor in the vast Arctic wilderness during World War II, from the author of New York Times bestseller Lost in Shangri-La.

On November 5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed into the Greenland Ice Cap. Four days later, the B-17 assigned to the search-and-rescue mission became lost in a blinding storm and also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on board survived, and the US military launched a daring rescue operation. But after picking up one man, the Grumman Duck amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished.

Frozen in Time tells the story of these crashes and the fate of the survivors, bringing vividly to life their battle to endure 148 days of the brutal Arctic winter, until an expedition headed by famed Arctic explorer Bernt Balchen brought them to safety. Mitchell Zuckoff takes the reader deep into the most hostile environment on earth, through hurricane-force winds, vicious blizzards, and subzero temperatures.

Moving forward to today, he recounts the efforts of the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. – led by indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza – who worked for years to solve the mystery of the Duck’s last flight and recover the remains of its crew.

A breathtaking blend of mystery and adventure Mitchell Zuckoff's Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and a tribute to the everyday heroism of the US Coast Guard.

Когда изящная красавица Маргарет Хастингс, вместе с еще 23 пассажирами, поднималась на борт транспортного самолета «Си-47», она ожидала пережить волнующий полет над горными джунглями Новой Гвинеи и, если повезет, увидеть через окно первобытное племя туземцев, которые, по слухам, были каннибалами. Через несколько часов вместе с двумя выжившими после страшной авиакатастрофы мужчинами, ей предстояло принять нелегкое решение: остаться у обломков самолета, понимая, что в горах их едва ли смогут заметить с неба, или идти через джунгли к долине, населенной островитянами, которые никогда прежде не видели белых мужчин. И белых женщин.

A riveting investigation of the brutal murders of two Dartmouth professors –– a book that, like In Cold Blood , reveals the chilling reality behind a murder that captivated the nation. On a cold night in January 2001, the idyllic community of Dartmouth College was shattered by the discovery that two of its most beloved professors had been hacked to death in their own home. Investigators searched helplessly for clues linking the victims, Half and Susanne Zantop, to their murderer or murderers. A few weeks later, across the river, in the town of Chelsea, Vermont, police cars were spotted in front of the house of high school senior Robert Tulloch. The police had come to question Tulloch and his best friend, Jim Parker. Soon, the town discovered the incomprehensible reality that Tulloch and Parker, two of Chelsea's brightest and most popular sons, were now fugitives, wanted for the murders of Half and Susanne Zantop. Authors Mitchell Zuckoff and Dick Lehr provide a vivid explication of a murder that captivated the nation, as well as dramatic revelations about the forces that turned two popular teenagers into killers. Judgement Ridge conveys a deep appreciation for the lives (and the devastating loss) of Half and Susanne Zantop, while also providing a clear portrait of the killers, their families, and their community—and, perhaps, a warning to any parent about what evil may lurk in the hearts of boys.

Jedenastoletni Bernard po raz pierwszy leciał samolotem. Dwuletnia Christine zostawiła w łóżku ukochaną przytulankę, żeby nic jej się nie stało podczas podróży. Stewardesa Amy Sweeney właśnie wróciła z urlopu wychowawczego i nie mogła się pogodzić z tym, że nie odprowadzi tego dnia córeczki do przedszkola. Zandra i Robert lecieli w podróż poślubną na Hawaje. Renée May, stewardesa, chciała zaskoczyć rodziców niespodziewaną wizytą. Zamierzała powiedzieć im, że jest w ciąży.

11 września 2001 roku terroryści porwali cztery samoloty, zamierzając rozbić je o najważniejsze budynki Stanów Zjednoczonych. Dwa boeingi uderzyły w wieże World Trade Center, jeden w Pentagon. Ostatni zamach został częściowo udaremniony przez bohaterskich pasażerów – samolot spadł na ziemię w terenie niezabudowanym.

Mitchell Zuckoff zaczął dokumentować losy osób dotkniętych przez zamachy terrorystyczne z 11 września już następnego dnia – i nie przestawał przez kilkanaście lat. Bohaterami jego książki są pasażerowie porwanych samolotów, strażacy, pracownicy World Trade Center i ich bliscy, a także mieszkańcy Shanksville w Pensylwanii, gdzie rozbił się ostatni samolot. Zuckoff odtwarza ten dzień minuta po minucie, z precyzją i empatią, w skali intymnej i monumentalnej. Przenosi czytelnika do samolotów, do płonących wież i do wozów strażackich pędzących w ich stronę. Ta książka to misterna układanka z ludzkich historii, eksponująca siły, które łączą ludzi w ekstremalnych okolicznościach.
