The Looming Tower pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

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>

這部非虛構作品用事實證明瞭恐怖主義是深刻信仰的産物。作者賴特是《紐約客》的記者,“9.11”事件發生當天請求編輯戴維.雷姆尼剋派他進行本書的采訪,曆時5年乃成,信息來源主要是彼此敵對的兩方:聖戰者和美國情報係統。美國新聞作品的路數我還算熟悉,這本書的采訪廣...

當9.11發生的時候,我還在大學校園,那是一個晚上,突然聽到周圍人議論。於是,我們拔下電話綫連在電腦上,撥號上網,在門戶網站上瞭解這起讓我目瞪口呆,又匪夷所思的事件。這起事件,當時讓我驚詫的有兩點: 1.客機撞大樓,還是地標建築,甚至還去撞瞭一把五角大樓,最終造成...

高塔是塔羅的第16張,可以講是眾人一心的力量錶現,也可以說是烏閤之眾的分崩離析。 維舟說 Colin Turnbull在《森林人》中曾寫到中部非洲的一個原始部落,在他們內部“通常糾紛的解決很少參照對於這一起事件所宣稱的對與錯,而主要是根據這個共同體盼望恢復平靜的意嚮”。希...
