Title: Self indulgent clap-trap
Review: I'm not a fire fighter but I think that I can appreciate the work that they do and the horror that descended upon the FDNY on Sept 11. Picciotto however, came out of it smelling of roses (and money). If you want to read a book that has a story line that goes something like this "me, me, me, I'm great, I'm in great shape, I'm the Chief, me, me , me" then buy this book. It should first be renamed to "First Man Down - One mans account of himself". With any common sense you can see that Picciotto abandoned his post and his men on a number of occasions that day. Yet he still tries to turn it all around so that he can achieve some kind of Super Man status, while belittling the bravery and hard work of other fire fighters (especially those of lesser rank). Read this book if you want to laugh at his ego, you'll find it in the 'Fiction' section of your Library.
