Review:

"A dramatic and compelling narrative of New York's saddest tragedy before 9/11 . . . a fascinating probe into the inferno that killed hundreds of women and children . . . O'Donnell does a spellbinding job of making the calamity come alive."

--Clive Cussler

"An impressively written account that effectively conveys the horror of New York's second-worst disaster ever."
--Booklist

"Compelling . . . O'Donnell's story is a testament to the strength of a unique people in an equally unique city . . . Unforgettable."

--National Review
