Lawrence Wright at Harvard Book Store

Harvard Book Store welcomes Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Looming Tower Lawrence Wright for a discussion of his latest book, The Terror Years: From al-Qaeda to the Islamic State.

With 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.

Tickets to this event are five dollars and can be used towards the purchase of Lawrence Wright’s book, The Terror Years: From al-Qaeda to the Islamic State.
