Kevin Flynn is co-author (with Jim Dwyer) of the book, “102 Minutes: The Unforgettable Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers.” From publishers Henry Holt & Co.: “Drawing on hundreds of interviews with rescuers and survivors, thousands  of pages of oral histories, and countless phone, e-mail, and emergency  radio transcripts, New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin  Flynn tell the story of September 11 from the inside looking out,  weaving together the stories of ordinary men and women into an epic  account of struggle, determination, and grace. Hailed immediately upon  its hardcover publication as the definitive account of that terrible  morning, ‘102 Minutes’ now contains a new Afterword that  incorporates powerful firsthand material, including tapes and documents,  that Dwyer and Flynn recently obtained after more than three years of  litigation with the city of New York.”
