What is City in the sky : the rise and fall of the World Trade Center about?

"A fascinating story . . . Those who delighted in Caro's __Power Broker__ will relish __City in the Sky.__" -Thomas Bender, __The New York Times Book Review__ The World Trade Center was the biggest and brashest icon that New York has ever produced-a pair of magnificent giants that became intimately familiar around the globe. In this vivid, brilliantly researched narrative, __New York Times__ reporters James Glanz and Eric Lipton re-create the life of the World Trade Center from its genesis in David Rockefeller's ambition to rebuild lower Manhattan to the spirited battles with local storeowners and powerful politicians who opposed it, to the bold structural engineering innovations that would later determine who lived and died in its collapse. And like David McCullough's __The Great Bridge__, __City in the Sky__ is a riveting story of New York itself- of architectural daring, political maneuvering, human ambition and frailty, and a lost American icon.
