Editorial Reviews
Review
—Edward Kosner, The Wall Street Journal
"Improbably entertaining....Silverstein’s observations of the bigwigs in his orbit have a ring of truth to them absent in books written by partisans....[He is] a convivial host, animated by his genuine love for New York, the real estate business, and the thrills of score-settling....In the Downtown skyline that Larry Silverstein left us, we can see all of it: the residue of one man’s internal struggle."
—Tris McCall, Jersey City Times
"In this detailed and candid account, the author shows how grit and persistence and a healthy dose of diplomacy helped create not only an extraordinary tribute to those who died on 9/11 but also reshaped the neighborhood into a vibrant place to work and live."
—Air Mail
"All along, Silverstein had a vision: Build it and they will come....Today, looking out from his office, Silverstein sees a neighborhood that didn’t exist 23 years ago."
—Richard Horan, The Christian Science Monitor
"Silverstein, now 93 years old, relates with clarity and concision the decades-long odyssey that led his company through a perilous tangle of insurers, opportunistic local and state politicians, demanding investors, layers of lawyers, the press, and, most painfully, the families of those lost on 9/11 who had yet to find closure at Ground Zero. The result is a surprising page-turner and a rare look at how the levers of power operate at the highest strata of commerce and government."
—Booklist, starred
"Silverstein’s account never lacks for melodrama....This classic New York saga about the symbiosis of grand civic ambition and rugged pragmatism stands tall."
—Publishers Weekly
"Silverstein displays a talent for making the complex and high-stakes game of New York City commercial real estate...surprisingly interesting. His...good and decent nature shines through his prose, as does considerable wisdom gleaned from a wildly successful career....Silverstein’s poignant and heartfelt description of what was lost—and what endured—in the wake of 9/11...will resonate with anyone who experienced that tumultuous period....Silverstein writes with panache, wit, and grace, and his is a story worth savoring. A compelling personal account of a uniquely American comeback."
