With the Pulitzer Prize winning The Looming Tower, Lawrence
Wright became generally acknowledged as one of our major journalists
writing on terrorism in the Middle East. Here, in ten powerful pieces
first published in The New Yorker, he recalls the path that
terror in the Middle East has taken, from the rise of al-Qaeda in the
1990s to the recent beheadings of reporters and aid workers by ISIS.
The Terror Years draws on several articles he wrote while researching The Looming Tower,
as well as many that he s written since, following where and how
al-Qaeda and its core cultlike beliefs have morphed and spread. They
include a portrait of the man behind bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and
the tumultuous Egypt he helped spawn; an indelible impression of Saudi
Arabia, a kingdom of silence under the control of the religious police;
the Syrian film industry, at the time compliant at the edges but already
exuding a feeling of the barely masked fury that erupted into civil
war; the 2006 11 Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza, a study in the
disparate value of human lives. Other chapters examine al-Qaeda as it
forms a master plan for its future, experiences a rebellion from within
the organization, and spins off a growing web of worldwide terror. The
American response is covered in profiles of two FBI agents and the head
of the intelligence community. The book ends with a devastating piece
about the capture and slaying by ISIS of four American journalists and
aid workers, and our government s failed response.
On the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11, The Terror Years
is at once a unifying recollection of the roots of contemporary Middle
Eastern terrorism, a study of how it has grown and metastasized, and, in
the scary and moving epilogue, a cautionary tale of where terrorism
might take us yet."
