The World Trade Center: A Tribute (61)

The World Trade Center: A Tribute
By: Bill Harris

This was an interesting book. I looks at New York dating back to 1600's up to present to place the WTC in historical perspective. Talks about the skyscraper races of the 20's and then the lack of building after the war. The problems with getting WTC project going, and the reaction after it was done.. Then talked about World Financial Center that was build next to it (and survived). It was more than just about the building or just about the attacks.. but a nice look at it in context. I was surprised how well done the book was considering it was Copyright 2001, so it must have been shortly after the attacks. I picked it up at the dollar store 2 years ago and just now got around to reading it. Full of wonderful pictures both of New York, the building under construction and interior and exterior on the finished.
