A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband, Danny Pearl by Mariane Pearl

5.0

This book is, of course, an amazing story of hope in a situation of despair which is impossible for most human beings to imagine. I have a great admiration for Mariane Pearl and for everyone involved in the operation to rescue her husband. I must say that I do not agree with her on an ideological level when it comes to the 'clash of civilizations' thesis. However, I understand its appeal and how, as a journalist, it is very easy and perhaps necessary to view the world through such a lens.

If you're looking for a book that will induce for both laughter and intense tears as well as an inspiring message of hope and tolerance, then this book is for you.
