Robert Jensen has been called the best at the worst job in the world—he cleans up the scenes of plane crashes, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters with fatalities: recovering bodies, identifying remains, returning personal belongings to relatives, and finding words of comfort for those distraught with grief. For Jensen, the darkest headlines are more than just words. He helped identify victims after the 1995 Oklahoma City terrorist attack, set up a mobile morgue at the Pentagon, worked in the ruins of the Twin Towers after the September 11 attacks, and evacuated the bodies of helicopter passengers from the jungles of Peru in 2008. This book is not only Jensen's unflinching and intimate look at the most difficult work that is rarely discussed, but also an inspiring story of survival, perseverance, and compassion.
