In addition to that, Peshmerga Forces have taken a position on the mountain, where they have been firing artillery at these positions in addition to that. At the same time, we watched as thousands of Peshmerga Forces moved into the city itself. They were in every vehicle you can imagine. There were people in the back of pickup trucks with machine guns. Ordinary civilians, volunteers were charging to the front lines to take on isis. They have been fighting all day, small arms fire, machine gun fire. It is long after dark year. Charlie how long will it take them to take sinjar. Taking sinjar is one question, holding it is another. Isis was resisting where the major offensives have begun. They are facing three specific dangers, sniper fire, car bombs and truck bombs charging towards these checkpoints, and we are seeing them in the city. In addition, they believe the whole city

Might have. When i began this book and met with my colleagues at Grand Central publishing we came up with the title, Grand Central how a train station transformed america. Then i went home and said did it . That is an ambitious agenda to have to live up to. I realized that it easily did that. The more i researched the book, the more i realized this was a transformative place. Stop and think if you go anywhere in the world and say this place is like Grand Central station, Everybody Knows what you are talking about. It is a metaphor for frenzy, chaos, people recognize it all over. Grand central has been the side of ransom demands, homecomings, hope filled send offs, the target of nazi saboteurs, terrorist bombs.
