Fernanda Santos covers Arizona and New Mexico as the Phoenix bureau chief for The New York Times. Santos reads from and discusses her book The Fire Line: The Story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots and One of the Deadliest Days in American Firefighting about one of the deadliest fires in American history and the twenty men of the Granite Mountain Hotshots who sprang into action to fight it. Impeccably researched, drawing upon more than a hundred hours of interviews, this is a riveting, pulse-pounding narrative of an unthinkable disaster and a remarkable group of men.
