September Day — Larry Schweikart

September 11 was a day no American can forget, and the reactions it provoked remain with us today. Through the eyes of several individuals, we have a much clearer picture of that deadly day. Meet: -Michael Callahan, FDNY, who finds himself inside the tower as the unthinkable happens. -Falik Maleed, Osama bin Laden's personal assistant, dedicated killer and terrorist, who nevertheless develops misgivings about his employer. -Thomas Palmer, professional football player, who abandons a life of wealth and fame to join the Army to fight bin Laden, then gets his wish. -"Connie" Cataris, an Ivy League economist, whose startling discoveries put him in the middle of an international plot involving bin Laden's financing that threatens to turn the world community upside down The paths of these seemingly unrelated people soon intersect with the lives of terrorist Mohammad Atta, patriotic airline passenger Rod Trainor aboard Flight 93, and dedicated CIA agents Lonnie Jackson and Cliff Harrison, with explosive---and tragic---results. This is the story of 9/11 you never heard, told in a way you never imagined
