## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book
*by D***D on 19 August 2023*

Very interesting

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have for your WTC collection
*by D***Y on 17 August 2015*

This is a must for anyone with an interest in the background and construction of the World Trade Center.Gillespie has certainly done his homework and the book has a brilliant flow. The personal protectives of those involved in the process from conception to completion give this book that human touch.Also, not being much if reader, the layout, flow and jargon isn't too heavy.Well worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Pleasure to read!
*by M***M on 7 October 2011*

Although I know a little about the World Trade Center, I purchsed this book in the hope of increasing my knowledge of the sixteen acre complex. Gillespie's work was truly informative and it was interesting as far as the Twin Towers were concerned. The author mainly delves into the history behind the conception and construction of the WTC, while the last chapters are filled with a breif history of the complex since it's opening up until the mid/late 1990's.Despite enjoying it overall, there were a few things that tarnished the book. Gillespie talks a lot about the history of the Port Authority and their struggle to build the Trade Center. This takes up over one third of the book, which gets quite political and does not always relate back to the WTC. Secondly, he focuses mainly on the Twin Towers and does not really talk about the surrounding buildings in any great detail, although he does mention WTC3 near the end of the book. Lastly, the book doesn't contain any photographs, which I felt could have better illustrated Gillespie's narrative, although it does contain several interesting diagrams relating to construction. In spite of these factors, I would recommend the work as it was quite fascinating.
