À propos de cet audio

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.

A Mighty Heart is the unforgettable story of two journalists who fell in love with their work and with each other. Together, Mariane and Danny Pearl traveled across the globe, with a dedication to journalism that would increase understanding of international politics and of ethnic and religious conflict. In the end, Danny was caught in the dangerous fissure where warring cultures, politics, and ideologies collide. A Mighty Heart is both 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Plenty of words have been written about the Pearl abduction, but these are by far the most personal and most poignant." (Booklist)
"A brave and beautifully written book...Mariane Pearl moves beyond horror and grief to write elegantly and knowledgeably about the vortex of religion, politics, and terrorism into which her husband was swept." (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

So moving

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.
