    <![CDATA[Most people were unfamiliar with Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl before his kidnapping and murder in Pakistan. In <em>A Mighty Heart</em>, his widow Mariane introduces us to Danny as he was when he was alive while also providing a heart-breaking first person account of his disappearance and death. There are plenty of endearing details about Danny--his insistence on moving his favorite Barcalounger with him around the world, his love of playing mandolin, his private conversations with his unborn son--but the more remarkable portrait that emerges is one of extraordinary bravery. Danny placed himself in post-9/11 Pakistan, realizing full well that region's inherent dangers, because of his courageous dedication to getting the truth about attempted shoe bomber Richard Reid and other terrorist activity. When he is kidnapped and pictures are e-mailed to his wife, she notices that he's slyly showing the peace or victory sign with one hand and flipping the kidnappers off with the other. And while clues to his fate are still being pieced together, Mariane's story, until now, has not been widely told. Realizing Danny has been abducted, she must navigate underworld politics, the international spotlight, and her own shattered nerves in a race against time to save her husband. Along the way, with the broad array of people and agencies assisting the cause, clues are gathered about the kidnappers' identity and the intricate machinations of the international terrorist community. When his fate is finally learned, the spotlight does not abate even as she is devastated and awaiting the couple's first child. Mariane Pearl's candor is remarkable and her courage, along with that of her late husband, serve to make <em>A Mighty Heart</em>, despite Danny Pearl's death, an uplifting story. <em>--John Moe</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[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 - are the subject of Mariane Pearl's book. 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 are taken to uncover a story. A superb writer, 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. <em>A Mighty Heart</em> is an extraordinary book - a fitting tribute to a dedicated reporter and a profound and heartbreaking love story.]]>

Along the way, with the broad array of people and agencies assisting the cause, clues are gathered about the kidnappers' identity and the intricate machinations of the international terrorist community. When his fate is finally learned, the spotlight does not abate even as she is devastated and awaiting the couple's first child. Mariane Pearl's candor is remarkable and her courage, along with that of her late husband, serve to make <em>A Mighty Heart</em>, despite Danny Pearl's death, an uplifting story. <em>--John Moe</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[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 - are the subject of Mariane Pearl's book. 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 are taken to uncover a story. A superb writer, 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. <em>A Mighty Heart</em> is an extraordinary book - a fitting tribute to a dedicated reporter and a profound and heartbreaking love story.]]>

    <![CDATA[Most people were unfamiliar with Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl before his kidnapping and murder in Pakistan. In <em>A Mighty Heart</em>, his widow Mariane introduces us to Danny as he was when he was alive while also providing a heart-breaking first person account of his disappearance and death. There are plenty of endearing details about Danny--his insistence on moving his favorite Barcalounger with him around the world, his love of playing mandolin, his private conversations with his unborn son--but the more remarkable portrait that emerges is one of extraordinary bravery. Danny placed himself in post-9/11 Pakistan, realizing full well that region's inherent dangers, because of his courageous dedication to getting the truth about attempted shoe bomber Richard Reid and other terrorist activity. When he is kidnapped and pictures are e-mailed to his wife, she notices that he's slyly showing the peace or victory sign with one hand and flipping the kidnappers off with the other. And while clues to his fate are still being pieced together, Mariane's story, until now, has not been widely told. Realizing Danny has been abducted, she must navigate underworld politics, the international spotlight, and her own shattered nerves in a race against time to save her husband. Along the way, with the broad array of people and agencies assisting the cause, clues are gathered about the kidnappers' identity and the intricate machinations of the international terrorist community. When his fate is finally learned, the spotlight does not abate even as she is devastated and awaiting the couple's first child. Mariane Pearl's candor is remarkable and her courage, along with that of her late husband, serve to make <em>A Mighty Heart</em>, despite Danny Pearl's death, an uplifting story. <em>--John Moe</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[For five weeks the world waited for news about Danny Pearl, the <em>Wall Street<p>Journal reporter who was kidnapped in Karachi, Pakistan...And then came the<p>broadcast of his shocking murder. The complete account of his abduction, the <p>intense effort to rescue him, and the aftermath are told here - in astonishing<p>detail, and with courage and insight - by his surviving wife Mariane.<p><p><em>A Mighty Heart</em> is the unforgettable story of two journalists who fell in<p>love with their work - and with each other. Together, Mariane and Danny Pearl<p>traveled across the globe, dedicated to journalism that increases the under-<p>standing of international politics and of ethnic and religious conflict. In the<p>end, Danny was caught in the dangerous fissure where warring cultures, politics,<p>and ideologies collide. <em>A Mighty Heart</em> is both a portrait of a partner-<p>ship built on the ideals of love, truth, and justice and a critical look at the<p>methods and structure of the Al Qaeda network. <p><p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></em>]]>

    <![CDATA[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 - are the subject of Mariane Pearl's book. 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 are taken to uncover a story. A superb writer, 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. <em>A Mighty Heart</em> is an extraordinary book - a fitting tribute to a dedicated reporter and a profound and heartbreaking love story.]]>

    <![CDATA[For five weeks the world waited for news about Danny Pearl, the <em>Wall Street<p>Journal reporter who was kidnapped in Karachi, Pakistan...And then came the<p>broadcast of his shocking murder. The complete account of his abduction, the <p>intense effort to rescue him, and the aftermath are told here - in astonishing<p>detail, and with courage and insight - by his surviving wife Mariane.<p><p><em>A Mighty Heart</em> is the unforgettable story of two journalists who fell in<p>love with their work - and with each other. Together, Mariane and Danny Pearl<p>traveled across the globe, dedicated to journalism that increases the under-<p>standing of international politics and of ethnic and religious conflict. In the<p>end, Danny was caught in the dangerous fissure where warring cultures, politics,<p>and ideologies collide. <em>A Mighty Heart</em> is both a portrait of a partner-<p>ship built on the ideals of love, truth, and justice and a critical look at the<p>methods and structure of the Al Qaeda network. <p><p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></em>]]>
