There are some books that I've read, and I know that I've read them, but I honestly couldn't tell you a thing about them, but then there are books like The Heart of a Soldier, that just stick with you. I really loved this book. By the end I knew what was going to happen, and was balling my eyes out. It was well written and extremely interesting.

Time magazine called this the best non-fiction book of 2002. Although I would not make that definitive statement -- this is a good book. Anyone looking for 9/11 stories would find this work interesting. It also does a great job explaining other chapters in American history (i.e., Vietnan War). ( )

Absolutely brilliant. Inspiring, and ultimately heartbreaking. ( )

Do you want to cry? This book will bring tears to your eyes as it recounts the life of the man who was in charge of security for the World Trade Center. A man who survived Vietnam, he tried his best to save and comfort as many as he could as the tragedy of 9/11 occurred. A tremendous story that makes you begging for it to be a book of fiction and have him walk out at the end of it all. ( )
