Description
 
Bernard Henri Levy

Publisher: Melville House Publishing



It's one of the most ghastly images of our time: the on-camera murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
But to acclaimed writer Bernard-Henri L�vy the videotape was immediately suspect. Why did it still include a ransom demand�for F-16 fighters to be delivered to Pakistan? Were the kidnappers really just maniacal fundamentalists who killed Pearl because he was American and Jewish, as was widely assumed?

Operating via a series of ruses�such as using his expired diplomatic passport�L�vy set off to trace Pearl's final steps . . . and those of his killer.

The result is a spell-binding book that combines a novelist's eye with riveting investigative journalism, as L�vy travels the globe for the terrifying true story: to Los Angeles to talk to Pearl's family about his final, encrypted words; to England and Bosnia on the trail of the plot's mastermind; to Dubai, on the terrorist's money trail; to New Delhi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi . . .

And, most perilously, to Karachi�where terrorists cross paths with nuclear scientists and the dreaded "services" . . . where long-time sources are suddenly too petrified to talk . . . where L�vy, Jewish himself, confronts the very dangers faced by Pearl�and uncovers a series of stunning revelations.

Who Killed Daniel Pearl?, the first book to investigate Pearl's killing, is a moving and heartfelt homage to the man L�vy calls his "posthumous friend," and an unprecedented overview of the jihadist movement. It is, as well, a clarion call to come to a fuller understanding of the forces behind Daniel Pearl's murder . . . before it is too late.
