James Reston, Jr. was the author of 18 books, two of which are novels. He taught fiction writing in the creative writing program at the University of North Carolina for ten years. Among his books are three works that deal with the clash of Christianity and Islam in history: Warriors of God, Dogs of God, and Defenders of the Faith. Warriors of God is an international best seller that has been translated into thirteen languages. The author was trained in the recruitment of foreign agents in Army intelligence during the Vietnam War era.
"[Reston] imagined himself into the mind of The 19th Hijacker with
such courage and writerly abandon, his book will leave you
breathless. A masterpiece." Lucian Truscott IV, author of Dress
Gray
" The 19th Hijacker will inform and surprise readers with an
original perspective that only a writer with Reston's wide range of
scholarship can provide." Brent Glass, Director Emeritus, National
Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution
"The book is well worth reading. It helps its reader to understand
the events of 9/11 and also offers a glimpse into the minds of men
like Haddad, who commit acts of terrorism because they are
compelled by political or religious conviction, perceived
injustice, and sometimes even the belief that they are paving the
way to a better world." Stephen Brooks, Rappahannock News
