DescriptionHow did an Egyptian city planner, a Yemeni religious fanatic, a boy from the United Arab Emirates who worshipped sex (not Allah), and a young student of aircraft design who went to a Christian school in Lebanon - four very different men with very different ideas - get involved in flying the 9/11 planes? How did the plot develop, and who developed it? Marwan, by Aram Schefrin, puts the reported facts together and fictionally fills in the details: from the group's first coming together in Hamburg, Germany, to the moments just before the airliners they were to hijack took off. You'll come to know the participants and how they were motivated, what their personal lives were like, and the roles they played in the plan. You will learn to know them as people, not simply as "terrorists", because, in the author's view, you must understand your enemies if you want to defend yourself.
