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. A Mighty Heart is
an extraordinary book - a fitting tribute to a dedicated reporter
and a profound and heartbreaking love story.
