Conceived in the immediate aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Center and the massive loss of life suffered by the New York City Fire Department, the book presents photographic works by more than 60 photographers that document all aspects of the department at this tumultuous and tragic moment in its history.
The focus is on the human component of the disaster rather than on the devastation and forms an extraordinary tribute to the fallen, the missing, and all remembered for their selfless devotion to others.
