A MIGHTY HEART The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Daniel Pearl

Softcovert. The emotionally riveting account of one of the most terrifying stories of our time: unforgettable for its individuality and its horror; memorable for what it tells us about a man and a woman's determination to understand the world; and a deeply moving demonstration of love. The tragic murder of 'Wall Street Journal' reporter Daniel Pearl is well known. Why he was in Karachi; how he saw his role as an international journalist; why he was singled out for kidnapping; and where the incredible search effort led: Mariane Pearl asks these questions and follows every clue. A journalist in her own right, Mariane is, as was her husband, profoundly committed to the idea that a more informed public makes for a better world, and to the idea that risks have to be taken to uncover a story. She presents a truly illuminating tale - including her own crucial role in the investigative team, where she was responsible for negotiating unprecedented cooperation between the FBI and Pakistani Intelligence and able to forge alliances with an array of people, from the Karachi chief of police to George Bush. With Index. 278pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
