Our take
AI-draftedSilverstein's account of his twenty-year fight to rebuild the World Trade Center site is at its most compelling when it stays close to the mechanics of the battle itself: the financing structures, the design disputes, the bureaucratic stalemates that dragged the project out for two decades. Having signed a 99-year lease on the towers weeks before the attacks, Silverstein writes about the rebuilding as both a business obligation and something closer to a memorial duty.

“Writes with panache, wit, and grace... A compelling personal account of a uniquely American comeback”
