"That day, I saw humanity at its best and worst. Humanity doesn't have race, creed, or color-not when you look into the very souls of people." -Christopher Braman, Army Sgt. 1st Class (ret.)

The terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, were intended to tear apart the fabric of our country and our democracy. Instead, this brazen act served to show the world the heart of a nation and the true meaning of "united we stand." The heroes at the Pentagon were extraordinary civilians and soldiers who made decisions to sacrifice their own safety to render aid to complete strangers. Twenty years later, these stories serve as a reminder of what it truly means to be American.

Meticulously researched and told with respect and reverence, American Phoenix sheds light on the remarkable individuals and events of that day, revealing stories never before told. Starting from the date the builders of the Pentagon broke ground on September 11, 1941, and culminating in the national Pentagon Memorial dedication in 2008, this is a tribute to those who sacrificed everything so that others might live.

Industry Reviews

"Like the unforgettable day it so vividly commemorates, American Phoenix combines hope and horror, courage and carnage, inspiration and devastation. With the crucial assistance of his brother Ben (one of the heroic first responders who saved lives at the stricken Pentagon), Lincoln Starnes provides an account of what we lost as well as what we gained. This fine book provides perspective on the everyday heroes and patriots who keep this amazing nation the last, best hope of earth."-Michael Medved, syndicated radio host, best-selling author of The American Miracle

"An outstanding retelling of what happened inside the Pentagon on 9/11. A tribute to everyday heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, American Phoenix reminds us of what we will never forget: we will endure . . . and we will rise again."-Virginia Buckingham, author of the #1 Amazon New Release On My Watch: A Memoir

"A vivid and detailed portrayal of the heroic soldiers and citizens who rescued and recovered friends and coworkers at the Pentagon. These moving stories shed new light on the tragedy and miracles that happened that day. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down."-James A. Cozine, Major General, US Army (ret.)

"This is very similar to The Only Plane in The Sky. It was extremely well thought out and put together in a way that flowed nicely. It's so hard to believe it's been 20 years this September. I also appreciate light being shed on the Pentagon attack because it normally is overlooked."-Caroline Craig David, NetGalley Review

"Lincoln M. Starnes documents that unforgettable day, shedding light on the many heroes and the courage they displayed in the midst of a horrific tragedy. The story provides hope through the courageous and selfless first responders who put their lives at risk, so that others might live." -Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series
