In his recent article in the Huffington Post, Remembering Daniel Pearl: The Challenge of Non-Violence and the Possibilities and Limitations of Forgiveness, Clarence B. Jones discusses An Unbroken Bond.


" There's lots of TV news footage, articles and books to refresh our recollection of the violence, pain and suffering caused by the bombing of the World Trade Center in NYC on Sept 11th, 2001. Few descriptions, however, capture the magnitude of the personal pain experienced and endured by victims of that event better than the book by Edie Lutnick, author of An Unbroken Bond. Ms. Lutnick tells the story about how 658 men and women employees of the company Cantor Fitzgerald, including her younger brother, were killed on that day.
In a foreword to the book, I wrote:
There are some events past and present that challenge or ability to comprehend the magnitude of the human pain and suffering and the destruction associated with them... The terrorists airplane attacks against the World Trade Center... challenge our ability to grasp and comprehend the enormity of t the horror and loss experienced by fellow Americans.
