Book recommendation: “Escape from the World Trade Center” by Leslie Haskin.
I fully understand that this will be a very controversial post (perhaps the most controversial post in DefCon’s history) and I’ve even been reluctant to post it (opting to leave it sitting in pending drafts for quite awhile).
