William Langewiesche’s book on the dismantling of the WTC angered several groups because it does not engage in the de jure worship of the FDNY. Now various fire departments have been pressuring booksellers to cancel apperances by Langewiesche.
The controversy is that in the book American Ground Langewiesche documents several instances of looting by uniformed services at the site. See the Atlantic Monthly’s lettercol (The Atlantic serialized the book over the fall) for a discussion.
