5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must read on leadership.
Larry Silverstien is an unsung American hero. Being run over by a car walking home from a Cushman & Wakefield dinner event was just a warm up for what he went through dealing with the Port Authority and all the lap dog politians. Having spent most of my life in the engineering & construction business I can only dream of working for him and his company on one of his projects. Probably the greatest underdog victory story of the century!

This is the story of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center by the man who made it happen. It is a well written, beautifully photographed book that would make a great gift for anyone who loves New York, is interested in real estate, finance, politics or government, or is just curious about how the 16-acre WTC site was planned, financed and developed over the past quarter century. As Larry said, "Never bet against New York, this town always comes back better, bigger and stronger."

This book brings the behind the scenes of one of the most iconic and patriotic projects in history - the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. Larry Silverstein is an icon. A man that changed the face of New York. It is a page turner and written so well that you feel as if you went through the events, the politics, the challenges together with Larry. Many of the personal stories were never shared in public. I could not put the book down. Each story gives a new meaning to the word Grit and Passion. A tue patriot, optimist and man of values.
