LIGHTNING OUT OF LEBANON(ISBN=9780891418702) 英文原版 azw3 极速 lit 地址 下载 rb pdf mobi

　　Before September 11, 2001, one terrorist group had killed more

Americans than any other: Hezbollah, the “Party of God.” Today it

remains potentially more dangerous than even al Qaeda. Yet little

has been known about its inner workings, past successes, and future

plans–until now.　

Written by an accomplished journalist and a law-enforcement

expert, Lightning Out of Lebanon is a chilling and essential

addition to our understanding of the external and internal threats

to America. In disturbing detail, it portrays the degree to which

Hezbollah has infiltrated this country and the extent to which it

intends to do us harm.

Formed in Lebanon by Iranian Revolutionary Guards in 1982,

Hezbollah is fueled by hatred of Israel and the United States. Its

1983 truck-bomb attack against the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut

killed 241 soldiers–the largest peacetime loss ever for the U.S.

military–and caused President Reagan to withdraw all troops from

Lebanon. Since then, among other atrocities, Hezbollah has murdered

Americans at the U.S. embassy in Lebanon and the Khobar Towers U.S.

military housing complex in Saudi Arabia; tortured and killed the

CIA station chief in Beirut; held organizational meetings with top

members of al Qaeda–including Osama bin Laden–and established

sleeper cells in the United States and Canada.

Lightning Out of Lebanon reveals how, starting in 1982, a cunning

and deadly Hezbollah terrorist named Mohammed Youssef Hammoud

operated a cell in Charlotte, North Carolina, under the radar of

American intelligence. The story of how FBI special agent Rick

Schwein captured him in 2002 is a brilliantly researched and

written account.

Yet the past is only prologue in the unsettling odyssey of

Hezbollah. Using their exclusive sources in the Middle East and

inside the U.S. counterterrorism establishment, the authors of

Lightning Out of Lebanon imagine the deadly future of Hezbollah and

posit how best to combat the group which top American

counterintelligence officials and Senator Bob Graham, vice-chairman

of the Senate Intelligence Committee, have called “the A Team of

terrorism.”

　　Praise for Lightning Out of Lebanon

　　“Lightning Out of Lebanon is a combination true-crime story,

adventure tale, and wake-up call for America. Investigative

journalists Barbara Newman and Tom Diaz have detailed the

activities of the Lebanese-based Hezbollah terrorist organization

in the United States and if you thought al Qaeda was the only

terrorist group you had to worry about, think again. . . . A

revealing account of the terrorists among us that should be

required reading for all Americans.”

　　–Neil C. Livingstone, author of Inside the PLO

　　“An eye-opener . . . reads like a novel, but documents in detail

how operatives of what many call the ‘A-Team of Terrorism’ have

taken advantage of our freedoms, legal loopholes, and defense

weaknesses to set up support cells in communities all over America.

But it also tells of a success story–how dedicated federal and

local law enforcement officials broke up and successfully

prosecuted a secret terrorist cell, leading to other investigations

that continue today.”

　　–Senator Joe Lieberman
