About this product
Product Information
While all Americans have personal and painful memories from the day New York's World Trade Center was destroyed, Karl Koch's anguish is unique--the Karl Koch Erecting Company, founded in the 1920s by his grandfather, built the Twin Towers. This true story of how a family-owned company beat out behemoths such as U.S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel to win the contract to build the towers--and how the project drove a fatal wedge through the Koch family--is an engrossing saga of a great American dynasty. Karl Koch tells the complete fascinating story of the creation of the World Trade Center: the politics behind its conception, the innovative thinking that went into it, the drama of its construction, and the truth behind its collapse, in a book that is at once a lament and a tribute to the buildings--and the people--that permanently changed America's urban landscape.
