The dramatic and moving
account of the struggle for life inside the World Trade
Center on the morning of September 11, when every minute
counted.
At 8: 46 AM on September 11, 2001, 14, 000 people were
inside the twin towers - reading e-mails, making trades,
eating croissants at Windows on the World. Over the next 102
minutes, each would become part of a drama for the ages, one
witnessed only by the people who lived it - until now. |

As Americans face the ongoing
war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the
world, Sean Hannity reminds us we must also cope with the
continuing scourge of accommodation and cowardice at home.
With his trademark blend of passion and hard-hitting
commentary, he urges Americans to recognize the dangers of
putting our faith in toothless "multilateralism" when the
times call for decisive action. He believes that only
through strong defense of our freedoms, at home and around
the world, can we preserve America's security and liberty in
the dangerous twenty-first century. |

conviction, Glenn rails against many of the forces that keep
us from our potential as a nation and as individuals -- and

It is 18 February 1943, and
RAF Lancaster bomber WF 183 - call sign O-Orange - is about
to set off on its final mission. It is a raid which will
touch the lives of hundreds: the civilians in the small
German town of Altgarten, consumed by blazing fire, and the
crews, both German and British, men and women. It is a night
of horror that few will forget... When the gripping
dramatised version of Bomber was first broadcast on BBC
Radio 4, it was transmitted in 'real time' throughout the
day, to incredible critical and audience response. |

Series is one of the best in the genre." - The Denver Post.
The Civil War, the most dramatic moment in our nation's
history, also produced some of our greatest literature. From
tragic charges to prison escapes to the desolation wrought
on those who stayed behind, Blood is an extraordinary
collection of reminiscences, fiction, and excerpts from
diaries and letters by an array of soldiers, writers and
observers. |

They wanted to be throwing
baseballs, not hand grenades, shooting .22s at rabbits, not
M-1s at other men. But when the test came, when freedom had
to be fought for or abandoned, they fought. They were
soldiers of democracy. They were the men of D-Day. When
Hitler declared war on the United States, he bet that the
young men brought up in the Hitler Youth would outfight the
youngsters brought up in the Boy Scouts. In this magnificent
retelling of the war's most climatic battle, acclaimed World
War II historian Stephen E. Ambrose tells how wrong Hitler
was. |
