Touching History: The Untold Story of the Drama That Unfolded in the Skies Over America on 9/11 (Hardcover) by Lynn Spencer (Author) http://www.amazon.com/Touching-History-Untold-Unfolded-America/dp/1416559256/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217435366&sr=1-1 here's what critics are saying... (*cough* critics like JCS Chief Richard Myers, NORAD chief Eberhart, and other apologists for the OCT) maybe the book needs another review or two ? "The 9/11 Commission missed it, but Lynn Spencer nails it -- the dynamite, inside story of heroism on that fateful day. You'll live through hellish decisions with the real players. Well-written, breathtaking." -- Major General Don Shepperd, USAF (Ret.), coauthor of Bury Us Upside Down, CNN Military Analyst "Riveting! On that horrible day -- the first battle in a new and terrible form of war in the new century -- there were many heroes. Lynn Spencer introduces us firsthand to those who confronted an unprecedented threat, from desperate air traffic controllers, to government officials, to the pilots in the skies. We all must remember that day, and this fascinating and gripping history of the drama in the skies that day is a must read."-Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, former United States ambassador to the United Nations for UN Managment and Reform "One cannot fully conceptualize 9/11 until reading Lynn Spencer's book, Touching History. Witness how military and civilian commanders and pilots, air traffic controllers, and airline personnel responded to this 21st century attack on United States soil. Through firsthand interviews, she puts us in the cockpits, the control rooms, and on the tarmacs. Insightful. Exciting. Important. You won't put it down." -- General Richard B. Myers ,USAF (Ret.), former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff "As commander of NORAD, I watched 9/11 unfold. Lynn Spencer tells it all and tells it well -- an enthralling read." -- General Ralph E. Eberhart, USAF (Ret.), former Commander, NORAD and Aerospace Defense Command Edited by JackD, Jul 30 2008, 12:35 PM.

I expect to get the book soon. Lynn Spencer was on the Diane Rehm show for one hour. I've listened to her. She clearly does a gatekeeping job and knows that she's doing a gatekeeping job. So Eberhart and Myers are still alive? That's fine. So there's still hope to bring them to account. |

like in Leslie Tilson's "Air War over America" and Richard Clarke's "Against All Enemies" -- sometimes in the published books which come after the fact and try to create a "legend" for the official story, you find a few useful nuggets of new informations. I hope that Lynn Spencers' book, which comes so highly praised by Myers and Eberhart, men who are high placed within miliary and who NEVER gave an honest and full accounting of what they knew about events of 9/11 -- will reveal a useful, verifiable fact for the research community |
