Since the attack on September 11, 2001, North has been covering the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen and Marines fighting the Global War on Terror for FOX News Channel. Now, in American Heroes(B&H Publishing, May 6th, 2007, $22.99), the New York Times best-selling author and host of War Stories offers an inspiring, first-hand account of the extraordinary men and women defending America against radical Islamic terror.

North and his award-winning War Stories documentary team have made a dozen extended trips to Afghanistan, Iraq and the Philippines to cover U.S. and allied military units and personnel for FOX News Channel. His extensive experience as a decorated military officer, counter-terrorism expert and documentary filmmaker embedded with American combat units gives him a unique perspective on the enemy we face and the qualities of those who have volunteered to protect us.
