It was a horrible tragedy, but what if, hidden behind the story of thegruesome on-camera murder of journalist Daniel Pearl, was another, still darker
story? What if the people who murdered him weren't actually fanatic followers of
Osama bin Laden? What if he wasn't murdered – as was universally assumed –
because he was Jewish and American? What if he was murdered because he was onto
something? In a groundbreaking book that combines a novelist's eye with riveting
investigative journalism, Bernard-Henri Lévy, one of the world's most esteemed
writers, retraces Pearl's final steps through a murky Islamic underworld,
suffused by "an odor of the apocalypse." The investigation plunges Lévy into his
own heart of darkness – and a series of stunning revelations about who the real
terrorists are.
