The week of 9/11 was the beginning of an extrordinary period of time. America had been attacked, and we'd never before heard of the names Bin Laden, or Al Qeda. The TV viewing public had as much information as the President of the United States. Extrordinary events can supercede our ability to decipher them.

The Bush Presidency became involved in two wars that consumed both terms. The mechanics of maintaining a free press covering the "Leader of The Free World" takes a lot of effort. Having a free and vibrant press available to cover our President is essential in maintaining a democracy. This story will show that in 2001, the Fourth Estate got the job done.

Chris Carlson worked in the TV News business for 42 years as a News Cameraman. In Washington DC, he had a front row seat on history. Covering Presidents Reagan, Bush41, Clinton, Bush43, Obama, and Trump, Carlson logged scores of unique experiences. Chris learned that some stories were too rich to ignore. 9/11 was one of them. He's combined his own notes from the field with colleague accounts, in a history not shared before. He's very grateful to his friends and associates who supported the same line of thinking and contributed to this effort.

Carlson has felt passionately to seize the moment. He's determined not to let the great tales go to "The Dead Cameraman's Society". By profession, Cameramen never used the pen as an outlet. Cracking the mold on that, Chris sees these stories as history, and part of his intellectual DNA.

Collaborating on stories together, with other living Cameramen, can paint a lively version of history that most couldn't imagine. Witnessing the dealings of many leaders of the "free world" from just 12 feet away.. the Camerman's story version is sure to make you think. Hang on, you're leaving the traditional editorial and political spin zones. You're stepping into The Dead Cameraman's Society.
