Early review."Good look at the Levinson family. They really played a key role in the War of 1996. I always wanted to know more details! David got a 36 of 36 on the ACT test? Cool. I truly enjoyed reading this book."Here it is my dear friends. This is probably the greatest story ever told by someone (me) who had a front row seat to the most historic events of the War of 1996.Read how the aliens surprised all of us on July 2, 1996.Then read how we launched a counterstrike against the alien race. This book contains up close and personal stories of David Levinson, my son, and the man who planned our successful counterstrike.This book takes you along to never-before-told stories of some of the behind-the-scenes thinking of President Thomas Whitmore as well as Gen. William Grey. There were 48 hours of planning at Area 51 that we used to save the world. Yes, I had a main role in that and you can read all about it in "How I saved the World."This book contains the action and drama of the War of 1996 and how David and I escaped New York and Washington before the destruction from the alien craft.I also give background on my life and my son, David Levinson. Take a look at the reconstruction efforts of our nation and the world in the aftermath of the war. This book gives a compelling reason why we survived, faith and a belief in God.
