Marwan: The Autobiography of a 911 Terrorist Synopsis: An Egyptian city planner, a timid Saudi pilot, a boy from the United Arab Emirates who worshipped sex, not Allah, and a young Lebanese student who had gone to a Christian school: How did these very different men with very different ideas come to fly the 9/11 planes? How did the plot develop, and who developed it? "Marwan," a novel by Aram Schefrin, is a taut, well-paced exploration of a key episode in contemporary history. It is suspenseful, illuminating, and brilliantly balanced between the compelling narration of known facts - from the group's first coming together in Hamburg, Germany, to the moments before the jets they were to hijack took off - and an imaginative response to unanswered questions. Read the excerpt! “There was another way in which these two were not like the rest of us. They were cold, like the men in Kandahar, the mujahidin who would not think twice about snapping somebody’s neck. But the mujahidin in Kandahar killed to glorify Allah. These two were in no way unsoiled Muslims, so I assumed that what drove them was another sort of passion: a sensual pleasure they derived either from hate, or from death. And I could imagine their ecstasy at being included in our mission – how orgasmic they though the end would be, that they would give up their lives to feel it.” ******* MARWAN: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A 911 TERRORIST VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR '08 will officially begin on Feb. 1, 2008 and continue all month.
