What is The Terror Years : From Al-Qaeda to the Islamic State about?

With the Pulitzer Prizewinning __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 Tow__er__,__ as well as many that hes 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 200611 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 wit
