Detective Sergeant Michael McGann was a 25-year veteran of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) when he was assigned to the Counterterrorism Bureau in 2001. He had spent his career working in some of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods, but nothing could have prepared him for the challenges he would face in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

In the months and years after 9/11, McGann traveled the world to investigate terrorist threats. He worked with law enforcement and intelligence agencies in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. He also met with victims of terrorism and their families. McGann's work was dangerous and often thankless, but he never gave up. He was determined to make the world a safer place, and he knew that the best way to do that was to stop terrorists before they could strike.

One of McGann's most important cases was the investigation into the 2004 Madrid train bombings. McGann was sent to Spain to work with the Spanish police. He helped to identify and track down the terrorists responsible for the bombings. McGann's work led to the arrest of several suspects and the disruption of a terrorist plot to attack the United States.

In 2006, McGann was assigned to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. He worked on a number of high-profile cases, including the investigation into the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. McGann's work helped to prevent future terrorist attacks and save lives.

McGann retired from the NYPD in 2012. He now works as a security consultant and lecturer. He is also the author of the book "The Jewish NYPD Cop Who Traveled the World to Stop Terrorists." In his book, McGann shares his experiences working on some of the most important terrorism cases of the past two decades. He also offers his insights into the threat of terrorism and what can be done to stop it.

McGann's story is an inspiring one. He is a dedicated public servant who has risked his life to protect others. He is also a testament to the power of one person to make a difference in the world.
