Product Description
by D. L. Rowley (Author)
This is a book about the American ability to look the other way when we have major issues that should be a bright light to a possible confrontation or a time when someone would do harm to our country. We watched in December 1941 as the Japanese made aggressive moves in the Pacific and in China until, finally, we were attacked at Pearl Harbor.
We watched as terrorists completed bombings all over the world, killing Americans and other innocent people, blowing up buildings, and showing no mercy for anyone, including an attack against the World Trade Center in 1993. This was an enemy who did not show a concern for women or children and would use most anyone as a living bomb only to kill or maim the dreaded American.
We watched as fanatics found their way into the country and used flight schools to their advantage and, in the end, took four commercial planes hostage, and they flew two into the world-famous Twin Towers. These were buildings that had been built to withstand the impact of many modern aircraft, but not the modern aircraft of the twenty-first century. The size and speed of the aircraft from the year 2001 were too much for these vaunted towers. Four aircraft were hijacked, with hijackers finding ways past the airport screeners and onto the aircraft. Four aircraft were crashed, and thousands were killed.
As We Watched is a book about a new and even more devastating attack against our great nation and what will bring our country into a new and even more terrifying confrontation. This is a story about Americans dying, doing what they love most. This is a story about Americans entering a new war and fighting back like only Americans can do.
