The Account of One Marine's Service at the Pentagon - 9/11/2001 - 9/14/2001

Four Days at the Pentagon is a riveting, first person account of the actions that took place at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001 to 9/14/2001. Dan Pantaleo, a US Marine Corps Major at the time of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, masterfully tells the story of some of the initial rescue attempts, the establishment of the victim recovery operations, and the retrieval of the USMC flag. While the actions that occurred near the World Trade Centers in New York City have been chronicled in many publications, there are very few first-hand accounts of the recovery efforts that took place at the Pentagon on 9-11 and the days thereafter. The details outlined in this book transport the reader back to September 2001, and provide insights into events the mainstream media barely touched. As our nation continues to transform in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 9-11, books like this are important toward understanding how and why America's international engagement policy is formed.
