Triangle is social history at its best, a magnificent portrayal not only of the catastrophe but also of the time and the turbulent city in which it took place.\" --The New York Times Book Review \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTriangle is a poignantly detailed account of the 1911 disaster that horrified the country and changed the course of twentieth-century politics and labor relations. On March 25, 1911, as workers were getting ready to leave for the day, a fire broke out in the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York's Greenwich Village. Within minutes it spread to consume the building's upper three stories. Firemen who arrived at the scene were unable to rescue those trapped inside: their ladders simply weren't tall enough. People on the street watched in horror as desperate workers jumped to their deaths. The final toll was 146 people--123 of them women. It was the worst disaster in New York City history. Triangle is a vibrant and immensely moving account that Bob Woodward calls, \"A riveting history written with flare and precision.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802141514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.02w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2004 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e76148 \/ Triangle: The Fire That Changed America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 18\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David Von Drehle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643439280284,"sku":"9780802141514","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2276fe71-a330-44f2-a0e2-ac79c18be217.jpg?v=1603856620","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/triangle-the-fire-that-changed-america-9780802141514","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
