Book Description

October 1, 2001
September 11, 2001. The television images of flame and destruction at the World Trade Center looked like a Hollywood disaster movie. But the thousands who died were not actors. They were flesh and blood. And the heroes who died and lived were not actors, but real heroes. What the TV news cameras, kept back from the horror, could not show you were the many stories that only the escaping victims and rescue workers could tell. Many of their stories are now in your hands, in his book.

Several rescue workers and one of the last men to come out of the north tower alive let us see through their eyes and feel through their hearts what they experienced that tragic day.

· Bill Bresnahan, a retired SWAT team member, with other rescue workers dug for survivors, cried, and prayed together. He also shares many of his personal snapshots taken at Ground Zero long before the media were allowed in.

· Other policemen share their dramatic stories and pictures of what it was like to be at history's deadliest foreign attack on American soil. Through their eyes and ears, we get to see this tragedy in a way the television news was unable to provide.

· George Sleigh watched the airliner crash into the floors just above his 91st floor office. He was the last person known to escape from so close to where the plane hit the north tower.

· There are very personal stories of grief, pain, and the horror of seeing friends and colleagues crushed by the collapsing buildings. Shell-shocked rescue workers then had to recover quickly so they could go about the work of rescuing survivors.

9-11 Terror in America is a historic record of the first-hand experiences of people who were there when it all happened. Their stories were selected not because they are unique or special, but because they were typical and represent the experiences of so many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul-touching stories presented in quality format, November 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: 9-11 Terror in America (Hardcover)
What grabbed me about this book was the powerful stoies and images of the very ordinary people who experienced the horror personally. A book about a serious subject presented beautifully. The quality of the printing is similar to a coffee table book. I was amazed at the 100 or so color photos that showed some things the media never saw or reported.

I think we should all keep this book handy when the American public begins to lose it's resolve in this war on terrorism. The book is a great way to forever remind us of why we are doing what has to be done. Each story is told with candor and with emotion - a very real image of being at ground zero that day.

By A Customer
This review is from: 9-11 Terror in America (Hardcover)
Riveting stories from police to office workers that bring you to the terror and devistation, making you feel as if you were the one having to experience it. Remarkable pictures, stunning encounters. A nice thing about this book is part of the proceeds help children of fallen police and firefighters who gave their lives while trying to save others.
