Description
The Rising: A 20-Year Battle to Rebuild the World Trade Center Larry Silverstein recounts his long and challenging journey to construct a new World Trade Center complex, navigating warring political interests, bureaucratic hurdles, and resistant insurance companies. The project's twists and turns are revealed in vivid detail, from the initial lease signing in 2001 to the nearly complete buildings that now thrive in downtown Manhattan. The Rising is a riveting portrait of New York City in the wake of its most profound tragedy, as well as a master class in how to succeed in business despite all odds. With outsize characters and relentless adversity, this book offers a gripping account of one remarkable feat of vision and determination. Through his story, Silverstein sheds light on the inner workings of the city's response to 9/11 and the complex process of rebuilding a national symbol. The result is a compelling narrative that will appeal to anyone interested in business, politics, engineering, or history.
