Description

On September 11, 2001, the skies over America became the front lines of an undeclared war. In this gripping narrative, Lynn Spencer brings to life the heroic response of air traffic controllers, military commanders, and pilots who found themselves on the front lines of a pivotal moment in history.

Based on an astonishing feat of reporting, Spencer re-creates the minute-to-minute events of that fateful morning, making vital corrections to the findings of the 9/11 Commission and revealing many startling, unknown elements of the day's events. From the shocking moment that American Flight 11 fails to respond to a controller's call to the announcement that the last commercial flight has safely landed and military jets rule the skies, Touching History is a powerful and deeply moving nonfiction thriller.
