This book is Tom Cantor's journal of how he was lost and defiled to become found and cleansed. He was a grandson of an orthodox Rabbi from the Lithuanian Kantorovich Rabbinical line. His father and mother were Jewish. His father was a prominent Beverly Hills Obstetrician Gynecologist and his mother worked for notable Hollywood celebrities. As successful as they were professionally, his parents were not good at marriage: his father was married five times and his mother, three times. By the time he was 15, Tom yearned for a stable home, a place to belong. Expelled from schools, he managed to graduate from a high school in Switzerland. However, while in Europe, he broke through the boundaries of morality and plunged into sexual defilement. In order to rescue himself from the guilt and shame of his sexual defilements he chose to form a relationship with a pure and wholesome girl. But he was disillusioned and devastated when, at the time he proposed, he learned that his wife-to-be had been raped and was pregnant.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, nearly 700 of Cantor Fitzgerald's 1,000 New York employees were at their desks on the top floors of One World Trade Center when a hijacked passenger plane struck eight floors below. None survived. On Top of the World tells the story not only of that tragic day but also of the complicated and emotionally charged events that followed. It is an intimate, often harrowing look at how private families processed a public atrocity, how corporate war-room strategy sessions saved the company from liquidation and the efforts of opportunistic competitors. This book examines the media scrutiny that followed Howard Lutnick, who struggled to be at once the compassionate leader the grieving families needed and the tough-minded CEO his decimated company required. It also tells the story of the men and women of Cantor whose lost coworkers were relatives and friends, and brothers and sisters. That Cantor's business has survived and even flourished -- and that an initially uneasy but ultimately significant covenant has been formed between those who lived and the families of their lost friends -- is a powerful testament to the ability of a community to endure.
Of all the companies affected by the attacks of 11 September, none was more devastated than Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial services conglomerate, who lost 658 people. CEO Howard Lutnick survived only because he had taken his son to school that day. His brother and best friend were not so lucky. his firm, and how he was able to rebuild the company as a tribute to those who died. Astonishingly, some rival companies tried to put them out of business, while others nearly killed them with kindness, offering Cantor Fitzgerald work that there was no one left to do. In the end, the company survived because all who worked there knew that it was the best way they could help their lost friends and colleagues.
