The Man Who Walked Between the Towers

Mordicai Gerstein relates a true story about an acrobat who sneaked to the top of the Twin Towers while they were still under construction. With a cable strung between the towers, he walked a tightrope above New York City. It was refreshing to read a thrilling, daring story about the towers when now they are known for tragedy.
