Friendship Love Fear Death
Here, back in print at last, is Dennis Smith's American classic: a searing vision of urban American through the eyes of a silent hero, a New York City fireman stationed in the South Bronx.
Report From Engine Co. 82
This could be the night reads the sign above the firehouse door. And, indeed, with the introspection of a man prepared to face death with every alarm bell, Dennis Smith turns his observant eye upon the lives he unflinchingly places before his own. From his bawdy and brave fellow firefighters, to the hopeful, hateful, beautiful, and beleaguered residents of the poverty-stricken district where he works, this is the compelling human story of the most brutalizing-and most rewarding-profession in the country.
Now reissued with a new introduction by the author, Report From Engine Co. 82 is a tense, violent, poignantly written account from the front lines...where fire illuminates a battered city and heroes are made of ordinary men.
