Feinberg's book is an effective reminder of the power of individual stories, told one at a time." - The Boston Globe. "As the head of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, Kenneth Feinberg was asked to do the impossible: calculate the dollar value of over 5,500 dead and injured in the worst peacetime disaster in U.S. history. What Is Life Worth? is Feinberg's personal account of the three-year struggle to compensate grieving families for catastrophic loss. It was the most harrowing experience of Feinberg's professional life. He became the filter, the arbitrator, and the target of family suffering. He learned that no amount of money could make the families and victims of 9/11 whole again. And most importantly, he learned about the enduring power of family, love, faith, and courage." - from the rear outer cover.
