The Triangle Fire: A Powerful Re-creation of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company Holocaust by Leon Stein
Just 11 years after the Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago killed 600 people, a fire in the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York City again showed the impact of inadequate exits.
Leon Stein is a less talented writer than David von Drehle, who used this book as a source for his 2003 book, Triangle: The Fire that Changed America. But Stein, writing 40 years earlier, was able to interview survivors and onlookers who were not available to von Drehle.
