As the anniversary of 9/11 nears, many Americans are re-examining our nation’s vulnerability and sense of national security. And, with the presidential race heating up, the War on Terrorism, including Iraq, continues to be a hotly debated subject.
The American people could find many answers in a newly published, hauntingly realistic fictional account of what could happen in the United States should our nation weaken its stand against terrorists. In Above Empyrean: A Novel of the Final Days of the War on Islamic Terrorism, foreign policy expert and CFIF Board Member Bruce Herschensohn delivers a thrilling lesson on why we are now engaged in a war for the survival of the United States.
According to Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., “Bruce Herschensohn has for decades been one of freedom’s greatest champions – and one of tyranny’s greatest foes. No one is better equipped to understand and depict the danger posed by our generation’s totalitarians: the Islamofascists. In Above Empyrean, he has done so with characteristic authority, verve, and panache.”
Recently, Mr. Herschensohn joined CFIF’s Renee Giachino to discuss his latest book and what would happen in the United States if the country were taken over by Islamic terrorists.
