图书描述

A sweeping narrative history of the events leading to 9/11, a groundbreaking look at the people and ideas, the terrorist plans and the Western intelligence failures that culminated in the assault on America. Lawrence Wright’s remarkable book is based on five years of research and hundreds of interviews that he conducted in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan, England, France, Germany, Spain, and the United States.

The Looming Tower achieves an unprecedented level of intimacy and insight by telling the story through the interweaving lives of four men: the two leaders of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri; the FBI’s counterterrorism chief, John O’Neill; and the former head of Saudi intelligence, Prince Turki al-Faisal.

As these lives unfold, we see revealed: the crosscurrents of modern Islam that helped to radicalize Zawahiri and bin Laden . . . the birth of al-Qaeda and its unsteady development into an organization capable of the American embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania and the attack on the USS Cole . . . O’Neill’s heroic efforts to track al-Qaeda before 9/11, and his tragic death in the World Trade towers . . . Prince Turki’s transformation from bin Laden’s ally to his enemy . . . the failures of the FBI, CIA, and NSA to share intelligence that might have prevented the 9/11 attacks.

The Looming Tower broadens and deepens our knowledge of these signal events by taking us behind the scenes. Here is Sayyid Qutb, founder of the modern Islamist movement, lonely and despairing as he meets Western culture up close in 1940s America; the privileged childhoods of bin Laden and Zawahiri; family life in the al-Qaeda compounds of Sudan and Afghanistan; O’Neill’s high-wire act in balancing his all-consuming career with his equally entangling personal life—he was living with three women, each of them unaware of the others’ existence—and the nitty-gritty of turf battles among U.S. intelligence agencies.

Brilliantly conceived and written, The Looming Tower draws all elements of the story into a galvanizing narrative that adds immeasurably to our understanding of how we arrived at September 11, 2001. The richness of its new information, and the depth of its perceptions, can help us deal more wisely and effectively with the continuing terrorist threat.</p>

这本书的篇幅很大一部分着墨于本拉登和基地组织的身世。发家史和对美圣战的筹划,以及美国有关部门的侦察应对。

高塔是塔罗的第16张,可以讲是众人一心的力量表现,也可以说是乌合之众的分崩离析。 维舟说 Colin Turnbull在《森林人》中曾写到中部非洲的一个原始部落,在他们内部“通常纠纷的解决很少参照对于这一起事件所宣称的对与错,而主要是根据这个共同体盼望恢复平静的意向”。希...

这本书出版于2007年,从埃及圣战者易卜拉欣到美国写起,结束于911事件美国发动阿富汗战争。如今十年过去了,两场战争都已经烂尾,而又一本描绘了Isis崛起历史的《黑旗》再一次包揽了普利策奖。 反恐反来反去,好像毫无进展,除了政府更大了,债务更多了,公民隐私更少了,监控...

9/11这个日期,无须加上任何年份的前缀,我都会迅速涌现那些画面。我试着梳理这些画面涌现的次序:首先是世贸中心的倒塌,人从摩天楼纵身而下,然后,我才能够想起飞机撞入大楼的画面,最后,可以定格在一个通缉令上,上面的头像是本·拉登。这是我个人的次序,其含义恐怕在于...
