Description

Selected as one of the vital absolute best books of 2002 by The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Sun-Times

Within days after September 11, 2001, William Langewiesche had secured distinctive, unrestricted, round the clock get entry to to the World Trade Center website. American Ground is a tour of this intense, ephemeral world and people who improvised the recovery effort day-to-day, and within the process reinvented themselves, discovering unknown strengths and weaknesses. In all of its aspects–emotionalism, impulsiveness, opportunism, territoriality, resourcefulness, and fundamental, cacophonous democracy–Langewiesche unearths the unbuilding to be uniquely American and oddly inspiring, a portrait of resilience and ingenuity within the face of disaster.
