À propos de cet audio

 Now a major motion picture starring Angelina Jolie!

The unforgettable story of two journalists who fell in love with their work and with each other, a portrait of a partnership built on the ideals of love, truth, and justice—and a critical look at the methods and structure of the Al-Qaeda network.

For five weeks, the world waited for news about Danny Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped in Karachi, Pakistan—and then came the broadcast of his shocking murder. The complete account of his abduction, the intense effort to rescue him, and the aftermath are told here in astonishing detail and with courage and insight by his surviving wife, Mariane.

Together, Mariane and Danny Pearl traveled across the globe, dedicated to journalism that increases the understanding of international politics and ethnic and religious conflict. In the end, Danny was caught in the dangerous fissure where warring cultures, politics, and ideologies collide.©2003 Mariane Pearl. All rights reserved; (P)2003 Simon and Schuster Inc.

Danny Pearl’s murder was so tragic. This book, written and narrated by his wife, Mariane, gave his life a voice. Brutally honest, and explicit, she tells the story with courage and love, in honour of their son. Helped me understand Pakistan more. Was shocked to learn that the Wall Street Journal was not doing even the basics of protection for their international journalists, despite the many recommendations that Danny provided the. If they had only responded sooner, perhaps Danny could have been found sooner, still alive. Lots to shock to absorb here. One note: I did find Mariane’s accent strong and a bit hard to hear at times, but it felt right for her to personally narrate the book; it was easy enough to rewind when I missed something.
