Rudy Giuliani emerged from the smoke of 9/11 as the unquestioned hero of the day: America''s Mayor, the father figure we could all rely on to be tough, to be wise, to do the right thing. In that uncertain time, it was a comfort to know that he was on the scene and in control, making the best of a dire situation.

But was he really?

Grand Illusion is the definitive report on Rudy Giuliani''s role in 9/11—the true story of what happened that day and the first clear-eyed evaluation of Giuliani''s role before, during, and after the disaster.

While the pictures of a soot-covered Giuliani making his way through the streets became very much a part of his personal mythology, they were also a symbol of one of his greatest failures. The mayor''s performance, though marked by personal courage and grace under fire, followed two terms in office pursuing an utterly wrongheaded approach to the city''s security against terrorism. Turning the mythology on its head, Grand Illusion reveals how Giuliani has revised his own history, casting himself as prescient terror hawk when in fact he ran his administration as if terrorist threats simply did not exist, too distracted by pet projects and turf wars to attend to vital precautions.

Authors Wayne Barrett and Dan Collins also provide the first authoritative view of the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, recounting the triumphs and missteps of the city''s efforts to heal itself. With surprising new reporting about the victims, the villains, and the heroes, this is an eye-opening reassessment of one of the pivotal events—and politicians—of our time.

I wrote this book as part of a personal journey to learn more about nutrition and fitness so that I could better understand the role nutrition plays in reshaping my body. Once I discovered the prevalent fitness concept of carbohydrate rich diets and workout routines centered around cardio training were simply wrong, it became my mission to spread the word - the truth about nutrition and fitness.

The discovery that regularly eating large amounts of carbohydrates and how that directly affected my blood sugar management was the key to determining why my body created and retained body fat. This realization led me to design Eat More, Do Less, Get Fit to explain why the current and accepted misperceptions about nutrition and training are so wrong and what I believe to be the correct method to reshape your body.

When it comes to training, I learned that it is not cardio, but progressive weight training that will reshape your body. Cardio only trains slow-twitch muscle while progressive weight training works your fast-twitch muscle. Fast-twitch muscle fiber is the only one of the two that can be grown which is necessary to reshaping your body.

I am just a regular guy who has discovered what it really takes to reshape your body through nutrition & fitness training and it is not near as hard as what you have been led to believe. All you have to do is Eat More, Do Less, Get Fit!
