“An extraordinary story…Langewiesche was the only reporter granted total access to Ground Zero…He spent nine months there and emerged to write American Ground…It is an amazing piece of journalism, full of colorful characters and astonishing scenes.”

Washington Post

Noted author, war correspondent, and award-winning writer for the Atlantic Monthly, William Langewiesche furnishes a riveting firsthand account of the excavation of the World Trade Center ruins following its destruction on September 11, 2001.

American Ground is an inspiring look at the often contentious mixture of personalities, politics, and emotions that fueled this massive effort. It is also a testament to American ingenuity in the aftermath of a great tragedy.
