本文同发于『正谈All Things Political』www.zhengtan.me 好莱坞拍过许多特工电影，这些电影的套路也大致相同，不外乎有特立独行的特工、开明的上司以及狡猾的对手，最终特工在上司的全力支持下过五关斩六将，击败对手，声张正义。现实往往比电影更精彩复杂，也远比电影更加残...

早就看过中文版了，就一畅销书随便看看爽一把的那种，没想到原著文笔一气呵成，厚厚一个大砖头，明明看过了却根本停不下来，完全沉浸其中、忘乎所以，真是不能不服啊

一本精彩绝伦的非虚构文学作品。作者在911发生当日便申请书写这个故事，历时五年，通过大量的人物采访、实地探寻和资料梳理，最终写成这本赢得普利策奖的煌煌大著。前半部分从20世纪四五十年代开始讲述了伊斯兰原教旨主义的萌芽、发展，到最后疯狂脱缰的过程，内容相当详实有条理。散兵游勇的零星组织在机缘巧合下起伏壮大，究其根源，从最早以色列的建国和强大武装力量对阿拉伯世界的精神冲击，到后来异地生活的伊斯兰教信徒... 一本精彩绝伦的非虚构文学作品。作者在911发生当日便申请书写这个故事，历时五年，通过大量的人物采访、实地探寻和资料梳理，最终写成这本赢得普利策奖的煌煌大著。前半部分从20世纪四五十年代开始讲述了伊斯兰原教旨主义的萌芽、发展，到最后疯狂脱缰的过程，内容相当详实有条理。散兵游勇的零星组织在机缘巧合下起伏壮大，究其根源，从最早以色列的建国和强大武装力量对阿拉伯世界的精神冲击，到后来异地生活的伊斯兰教信徒对于自身归属的失落感，不一而足。后半部分重点探究了导致最后911悲剧发生的美国原因，也就是美国情报机关CIA和FBI的官僚主义泛滥和机构斗争造成的掣肘，个人英雄John O'Neill的故事线生动鲜活，勾勒出一个让人又爱又恨的爱尔兰籍警官的形象，特别最后两章让人泪目，不忍卒读。 (展开)

谁知道作者考证了多少资料才写出的这本书，前半部分算是把基地那点东西理明白了，不过我反而喜欢看后面美国各机构官僚主义窝里斗的部分，而且John O'Neill个人的部分也够让人唏嘘的了
