Silver writes like a good friend and a concerned parent. Like you, he was deeply affected by September 11 and how our world has changed since that tragic day. He understands that 9/11 will remain the major event for our children's growing years, just as World War II and the Cold War was for our parents and grandparent's lives. He understands that the War on Terrorism has engulfed us in an unconventional war like no other we have ever fought where our enemies seek to harm and terrorize us here at home. This easy-to-read volume discusses how we got into this conflict, the threats to our safety, and provides practical (not apocalyptic) advice on things you can do to protect your family, community, and country. This passionate book's central theme is about raising kids and offers ideas on how to protect your children during these turbulent times. The book is crammed to the gills with realistic, action steps you can take-right now.
