Overview
Obra ganadora del Premio Pulitzer.
Ā«Literatura como verdad.Ā»Ā āAntonio MuƱoz Molina
La torre elevada narra la increĆble historia de varios hombres cuyos destinos se entrecruzan y confluyen de forma dramĆ”tica el 11 de septiembre de 2001. Con una precisiĆ³n poco comĆŗn, sustentada en mĆ”s de quinientas entrevistas realizadas a lo largo de cinco aƱos, nos describe el auge del fundamentalismo islĆ”mico, la creaciĆ³n de al-Qaeda y los errores cometidos por los confiados servicios de inteligencia que culminaron en el atentado de las Torres Gemelas.
Lawrence Wright recrea de modo excepcional la transformaciĆ³n de Osama bin Laden y Ayman al-Zawahiri de combatientes idealistas e incompetentes en AfganistĆ”n a lĆderes del grupo terrorista mĆ”s temido de la historia; y sigue de cerca a John O'Neil, jefe de la secciĆ³n de contraterrorismo del FBI y uno de los pocos agentes estadounidenses que comprendiĆ³, ya en los aƱos noventa, la magnitud de la amenaza que representaba dicha organizaciĆ³n.
Lleno de informaciĆ³n, con una profunda perspectiva histĆ³rica, este es el mejor libro escrito sobre los orĆgenes de al-Qaeda y la muerte de Bin-Laden.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Pulitzer Prize winner book that inspired the Hulu series starring Peter Sarsgaard, Jeff Daniels, and Tahar Rahim.
A gripping narrative that spans five decades, The Looming Tower explains in unprecedented detail the growth of Islamic fundamentalism, the rise of al-Qaeda, and the intelligence failures that culminated in the attacks on the World Trade Center. Lawrence Wright re-creates firsthand the transformation of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri from incompetent and idealistic soldiers in Afghanistan to leaders of the most successful terrorist group in history. He follows FBI counterterrorism chief John OāNeill as he uncovers the emerging danger from al-Qaeda in the 1990s and struggles to track this new threat. Packed with new information and a deep historical perspective, The Looming Tower is the definitive history of the long road to September 11.
