读后感

任何看完《巨塔杀机》的人都会佩服作者的写作勇气和能量，在这本书里作者事无巨细地追溯了伊斯兰激进势力的发生与演化，同时也梳理了美国过去十多年来各种安全事务的重大失误和弱点，两条线索独立分明而又互相缠绕，尤其是进入1995年后，可以看出机会是如何一步步被两方抓住与...

用户评价

最后好像武侠（373页e容易么=3=）

旧书摊上五块钱淘来的，断断续续看了两个月。。不了解伊斯兰圣战的人也没法真正拿这本书装逼。。也就看个大概。。但是看到历史如此缜密还是会觉得异常恐惧。。Wherever you are, death will find you, Even in the looming tower.
