Critic Reviews:
"An astonishing union of technology and art." (Christian Science Monitor)
"Magisterial, meticulously researched, and handsomely illustrated." (O, The Oprah Magazine)
"Judith Dupré has written about One World Trade Center in the most readable way, with sensitivity, scholarship, superb photography, and wide interviews with those of us involved in this long-evolving project. She has achieved what many thought was impossible-a book that is both popular and scholarly, and the one account that is comprehensive and accurate." (David Childs, Design Partner, Skidmore, Owings & and Merrill)
