My book is the perspective of 9/11 through air traffic controllers, flight crew, and everyone behind the scenes eyes. Everything that happens in my book happened in real life. At the time, very few Americans wanted to go to war. After world war one and two, everyone was tired of war. As the book and history progressed and people started to realize what was happening, Americans started showing hate towards Arabs and Muslims. In history and in my book, after 9/11 Arabs and Muslims are spat on, beat up, and even some of their homes and businesses were destroyed. After 9/11, Everyone's views changed about going into war, which made George Bush's job a lot easier. George Bush declared "War on terror", which led to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. My book shares the story of the steps to alert the military and taking action in the eye of individuals just doing their job. in one part, flight attendant Betty Ogn calls to report a high jacking on American 11. Two flight attendants were stabbed, but still alive and one person in first class that was killed. "The flight attendant hurredly relays that two flight attendants have been wounded and one passenger fatally stabbed, she believes her airplane is being high jacked." my book tells "The untold story of the drama that unfolded in the skies over America on 9/11."

Wow, I had no clue that 9/11 have a connection to the war on terror. I think that is an important detail that shouldn't be forgotten or left out. Good job!
