Meer over het boek

The book delves into the misleading reassurances given to New Yorkers by EPA Administrator Christie Whitman and Rudy Giuliani shortly after the September 11th attacks regarding air safety. It reveals that, contrary to their claims, EPA tests indicated dangerously high levels of toxic substances in the air, including asbestos and heavy metals. Journalist Juan Gonzalez critiques the failure of public officials to acknowledge the true extent of contamination, highlighting the potential long-term health impacts on the city's residents and the implications for Giuliani's legacy.
