Book Review: "A NEW DAY OF INFAMY"
Summary: 5 Stars
A very different book on what took place in America on 9/11.
The day,date and vile act that took place against a free country will never be forgotten.This book is a collection of the front pages of 146 newspapers from the United States and several other countries around the world.While there are many repeats in the photos,the interesting thing is how each paper attempted to choose the best few words to describe this dasterdly attack.
All through the book you will be faced with a glaring remark that so well makes the point.One of the things that struck me was how quickly they assessed the importance of this attack and what resolve immediately became evident that this great nation would not let the perpurators get away with this act.
The importance of this act was clearly stated by President George W Bush; "Freedom itself was attacked this morning".
Reading this book over four years after 9/11 ,it is obvious that much of the world continues keep its head stuck in the sand ,in spite of a continual stream of attacks against them,
and that appeasement will no more work with terrorists than it did with Nazis and other Facist Organizations.
This is a book that takes only an hour to scan,but one that all freedom loving people should turn to every so often ;just as a reminder of the evil that is prepared to eliminate that freedom.
Here are a few of the headlines that were used on 9/11 and the following day:
NIGHTMARE
ATTACK ON AMERICA
BUSH VOWS TO PUNISH 'EVIL' ACTS OF TERROR
'AN ACT OF WAR'
'OUR NATION SAW EVIL'
OUTRAGE
'DESPICABLE'
'EVIL'
AMERICAS DARKEST DAY
TERROR HITS HOME
"NONE OF US WILL EVER FORGET THIS DAY"
A NEW DAY OF INFAMY
NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME
WE MOURN
"UNYIELDING ANGER"
The thing that comes through loud and clear as one goes through this book is that despite the horror of these acts; is the strength and resolve of America to do whatever it takes to hunt down and eradicate this evil.
The reason that America ,as a free nation,is the world leader is because it has the will and fortitude to win.America has done it before and will do it again.
As I watched the events happen on 9/11 I wondered what pictures and words would be on the fyont pages of my local newspapers.With this book I see what appeared all oner the States and other countries ....an excellent concept ,well executed.
