Description
The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center symbolized American strength and resilience, surviving previous incidents like a fire and a car bombing. On September 11th, 2001, they were targeted in a deliberate terrorist attack. When the North Tower was struck by an aircraft, it was initially believed to be an accident. However, the subsequent crash into the South Tower confirmed a coordinated assault. These historic events, broadcast live, shocked the world as both towers collapsed within two hours, reducing them to ruins. The attacks were part of a broader plan to harm the Western world and its economy.
Here, the author shares his unique perspective, telling the hidden tale of a grieving family who lost a father in a traffic homicide allegedly at the hands of the 9/11 ringleader, Mohamed Atta, 17 months before 9/11, and how he pursued a claim for damages for them -- giving insight into the legal world in which he operated. A personal story of tragedy, love, paternal loss, and legend, hidden for over 20 years, now superbly woven into commentary on the worst of American days, and a heart-warming "docu-drama" relevant to all our lives.
Parallax 9/11 - Part 1: The Silent Assassin delves deeply into both the broader historical context and the intensely personal experiences surrounding "9/11." The book offers a parallax and unique perspective on the atrocity by viewing it from the Western world, the Middle East, and from the eyes of individuals who suffered personal tragedies due to their direct encounters with Mohamed Atta, "The Silent Assassin." Through meticulous research and evocative storytelling, Parallax 9/11 - Part 1: The Silent Assassin not only explores the geopolitical ramifications of the attacks but also humanizes the tragedy by illuminating the emotional and psychological toll it exacted on individuals, families, and communities. By connecting Atta's actions to the far-reaching, unknown consequences they caused, the book provides an intimate and detailed glimpse into the personal dimensions of terrorism. It vividly portrays how the attacks altered the course of history and left indelible marks on the lives of countless people, even in distant places miles from New York City. This untold story emphasizes the profound and lasting effects of a tragedy that changed the world in both seen and unseen ways.
