Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 Barack Obama was driving to work at the Thompson Center, a government building in Chicago, when he heard the news about the planes crashing into the World Trade Center towers. He thought it was a poor Cessna pilot who had screwed up badly.#2 As Obama left the Thompson Center, his eyes moved involuntarily up to the Sears Tower. The city’s landmark skyscraper now loomed like a giant target.#3 When the president saw Morell that morning, he had already taken a few minutes to read from his Bible, had jogged in the darkness around the Colony golf course, and had dressed and eaten his breakfast. The briefing that day had concerned China and Russia.#4 The attacks provoked something primal and self-protective. Just seventy-one minutes after the North Tower was hit, hundreds of miles west of New York City and high over Pennsylvania, the passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93 scrambled to attack the men who had hijacked their plane. It crashed in a field just east of Pittsburgh.
