"A fascinating story . . . Those who delighted in Caro's "Power Broker" will relish" City in the Sky."" -Thomas Bender, "The New York Times Book Review" The World Trade Center was the biggest and brashest icon that New York has ever produced-a pair of magnificent giants that became intimately familiar around the globe.
