Product Description
'Wright’s brilliantly constructed narrative is head and shoulders above the rest. He knows important parts of the Muslim world (including Saudi Arabia) at first hand, he understands the motors of Islamist militancy … Moreover, he is a fine writer with an eye for the telling detail. Even those who think they know the story intimately will feel they are reading it anew’ New Statesman

Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
`A heart-stopping account of the events leading up to 9/11 ... The Looming Tower is a thriller. And it's a tragedy, too'
William Dalrymple, author of The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty
`Possibly the best book yet written on the rise of al-Qaeda ... beautifully written and wonderfully compelling'
Michio Kakutani, The New York Times
`Wrenchingly intimate ... tragic ... possesses all the immediacy and emotional power of a novel'
