Fallout

Meer over het boek

The book exposes the misleading reassurances given by public officials, particularly Christie Todd Whitman and Mayor Giuliani, regarding the safety of Lower Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. Thousands returned to the area based on these claims, which were not grounded in reality. Investigative reporter Juan Gonzalez critically examines how the rush to restore normalcy endangered the health of residents and workers. Initially dismissed, the book's findings have since gained support from national media reports highlighting the long-term health consequences of this failure in leadership.
