Mitchell Zuckoff presents FALL AND RISE

May 22, 2019 | 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

Join author Mitchell Zuckoff in conversation with NPR/WBUR’s Jeremy Hobson, co-host of “Here and Now,” to discuss Zuckoff’s new book, “Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11.” As a reporter for The Boston Globe, Zuckoff wrote the lead news story on 9/11 and led a team of reporters investigating the worst terrorist attacks in American history. Now he’s written the first comprehensive, character-driven nonfiction narrative about 9/11. Already under contract to Lionsgate/3Arts for a major television event, “Fall and Rise” covers the four hijackings; the events at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and outside Shanksville, PA; and the chaotic initial military and government response, including never-before-told stories of heroism, tragedy, and survival.
