Summary: Surprising and very good
Review: When I picked this book up, I was in a mood to read everything I cound about September 11. I was surprised by this one, though. Rick Rescorla plays a part in the tragedy, but the book is really about his amazing life leading up to September 11. A fascinating read, but not for the reasons I thought when I first got it. I kept turning to my wife saying, "I'm on page 100 and Sept. 11 still isn't mentioned..." or "Now I'm on page 200 and Sept. 11 still isn't mentioned."Fans of James Stewart will not be disappointed. The rest of you will not be either. A highly engrossing read about Rescorla -- soldier, father, husband, Englishman, American, etc. -- and the people around him.

Summary: dissappointed
Review: While the subject, Rick, is great, the writing just doesn't flow. Just seems to be thrown together to get in on the 9-11 sales/marketing bandwagon. Really wanted to like this book but it left me feeling that the story of Rick should have been written so much better. Felt like I was reading a newpaper article thrown together to make a deadline.
