"Groner and Teicholz write with both clarity and compassion about both the human struggle and the legal struggle. The reward for the reader, no less than for the first responders, is the opportunity to see justice done at long last and against long odds."—Jonathan Kirsch, Jewish JournalWilliam H. Groner is founder and CEO of SSAM Alternative Dispute Resolution and co-founder and former managing partner of Worby Groner Edelman, LLP. He lectures on the medical consequences of Ground Zero dust and on Ground Zero litigation and has made numerous radio and TV appearances. Tom Teicholz is an award-winning journalist, contributor to Forbes.com, and cohost of the Buried Lede podcast. His books include Being There: Journalism 1978–2000 and Wilshire Boulevard Temple: Our History as Part of the Fabric of Los Angeles, among others.  

9/12 is the saga of the epic nine-year legal battle waged by William H. Groner against the City of New York and its contractors on behalf of the more than ten thousand first responders who became ill as a result of working on the Ground Zero cleanup. These first responders—like AT&T Disaster Relief head Gary Acker and New York Police Department detectives Candiace Baker, Thomas Ryan, and Mindy Hersh—rushed to Ground Zero and remained to work on the rescue and recovery mission, which lasted for the next nine months. Their selfless bravery and humanity were rewarded with horrible health issues resulting from the toxic stew of chemicals present in the dust and debris that government officials such as Mayor Rudy Giuliani and EPA chief Christine Todd Whitman had assured them was safe. Groner, a lead attorney in the mass tort litigation, fought for their illnesses to be acknowledged and for them to receive validation and closure, as well as for compensation—an eventual aggregate award of more than $800 million.

As detailed in 9/12, the battle for the Ground Zero responders was waged not only in the courtroom but also in the press, in medical and scientific research centers, and among politicians at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as in the halls of Congress to pass the Zadroga Health and Compensation Act. 9/12 weaves together Groner’s firsthand account with glimpses into the first responders’ lives as they try to understand and overcome their illnesses. The result is an intimate look into their battles—physical, mental, and legal—that will leave you cheering for these heroes who, in spite of everything, would do it all again. Told by Groner and journalist Tom Teicholz, 9/12 is the story of the brave public servants who showed up when their country needed them most, of their fight for redress, and of their victory in the face of the seemingly insurmountable.
 

Required Reading This is required reading for those who want to be considered informed. For all of the recent debate in Congress about whether our first responders and their families should receive ongoing funds for the lingering effects of their heroic efforts, this book is incredibly timely.

Sections that made me want to stand up and cheer and parts that really made me sad and all of it made me wonder how this could have ever happened and how could these people have endured - certainly the first responders but also those that fought for them and all that happened along the way .I thought the book was so good and story so well told I went back and purchased several more copies to send to friends .Powerful and riveting Powerful, riveting behind the scenes account of these true modern day heroes.
