About this product

Product Information

"A powerful reconstruction of the flight's final moments. . . . Made me think of John Hersey's Hiroshima ." -- New York Times Book Review The definitive story of the courageous men and women aboard Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, and of the day that forever changed the way Americans view the world and themselves. Of the four horrific hijackings on September 11, Flight 93 resonates as one of epic resistance. At a time when the United States appeared defenseless against an unfamiliar foe, the gallant passengers and crew of Flight 93 provided for many Americans a measure of victory in the midst of unthinkable defeat. Together, they seemingly accomplished what all the security guards and soldiers, military pilots and government officials, could not--they thwarted the terrorists, sacrificing their own lives so that others might live. The culmination of hundreds of interviews with family members and months of investigation, this powerful and deeply moving book is a lasting testament to American heroes.

A Heartfelt Story
A beautiful story about the heroes of United 93. This book will keep the reader hooked from beginning to end. You can feel the terror these people faced, and the heroism they died with. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby, because this book will pull on your heartstrings. After reading this book, you will feel the patriotism and honor the heroism of these brave individuals even more than you already did. This book is an excellent read, one to be treasured and passed down through the generations, so these brave individuals and there heroism don't go down in vain. Sadly, the most in depth book I have read about United 93.
