Lawrence Wright is a prolific author and journalist. His book, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 won a Pulitzer Prize. Although it is a difficult book to read for obvious reasons, it is a fascinating look at the historical forces that brought about Al-Qaeda. It is also an amazing history of the people trying to hunt down Bin Laden. I am posting this video because I am excited to check out Lawrence Wright’s newest book on the rise of the Islamic State. With his extensive background and on the ground experience in the Middle East, I can imagine that this book will be extremely informative and worth reading.
I think a lot of times when America wanders into regions that it so poorly understands, we don’t know what we are facing. -Lawrence Wright
An INTERVIEW with lawrence wright About his book the looming tower Would be FASCINATING. Please consider.
Definitely considering it. Or perhaps reading his new one, and doing an interview about that.
