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.
