Description
Ordinary Heroes: A Memoir of 9/11
On the morning of 9/11, Chief Joe Pfeifer led his firefighters to investigate an odor of gas in downtown Manhattan, unaware that his life was about to change forever. As he watched the first plane crash into the World Trade Center, he spearheaded rescue efforts on one of the darkest days in American history.
This intimate memoir recounts the horror of the attack and the courage of the firefighters who risked their lives to save others. It is a powerful account of the rescue efforts and the months of numbing grief that followed, as Pfeifer and his fellow firefighters grappled with the meaning of heroism and leadership.
