Lt. John Finucane’s fact-based novel is a timely reminder to Americans everywhere of the great risks firefighters are prepared to take to keep them safe. And he reminds them also of the extraordinary sacrifices of New York City’s firefighters during the so-called War Days of the 1960s and 70s when much too often, they were called upon to visit hell, that is, to risk life and limb in buildings that were roaring infernos, deliberately set, to save a precious life.
