In the Midst of Chaos is the story of a volunteer safety representative's 30 days in the middle of the World Trade Center disaster. His task was to assist the rescue and recovery teams, construction workers, and volunteers in protecting themselves from injury in the debris field of WTC Tower 2, where thousand of victims lay buried.

Urged by his wife to keep a record of his experiences for their children and grandchildren, he documented the daily sights, sounds, smell, frustrations, and profound tragedy of Ground Zero. Staggered by the horrible sights of death, grief, and the uncertainty of his own survival, he frequently turns his own thoughts inwards. He allows the reader to experience the reality of the disaster, his innermost thoughts and fears, the painful, personal emotions, and the life altering changes taking place within.
