Synopsis

On Sept. 11, 2001, reporter Roy L. Williams' life was forever altered when a hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon, killing his oldest brother, Army Maj. Dwayne Williams. His book, "911, God Help Us - A Journalist's Tale of Faith," details a brother's love for a sibling killed in the nation's deadliest terrorist attacks and how it enabled the former police reporter to experience first-hand something he'd previously only written about - the horror of losinga loved one to violence. The title refers to how Roy's 911 call to God for help after his brother's death is answered, giving him peace. With Biblical references to scriptures Roy leaned on for strength, the book moves from the horrible events of Sept. 11 to the pride the Williams family felt when a monument was unveiled in his brother's memory a year later. "911, God Help Us" concludes with the author's perspective on the successful 2003 U.S. military campaign against Iraq and its parallels to the 1991 Persian Gulf War, where his brother won a Bronze Star for valor in battle and helped pave the way to victory 12 years later.
