Among the Heroes: United Flight 93 and the Passengers and Crew Who Fought Back Hardcover - 2002

by Jere Longman


From the publisher

"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.


First line

THE SKY ON SEPTEMBER 11 dawned cerulean blue, one of those unblemished skies that often appeared in late summer after heavy rains or hurricanes-rinsed, cloudless, apparently cleansed of tumult.
