The New Yorker is republishing my Zawahiri piece, "The Man Behind bin-Laden, from 2002. It took another 20 years to find the reason to bring it back. This is the story of how and why AQ arose. https://t.co/WPwo1dsvRb

Wright also appeared on MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and Morning Joe to discuss the U.S. military’s assassination of longtime Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Don’t miss Wright’s recent appearance on NPR’s news show, All Things Considered.
A Note from Lawrence Wright
My piece on the five families of reporters and aid workers captured in Syria. Most emotional piece I've ever done:
Wright appears on PBS Newshour to discuss the missing pages in the 9/11 report, as discussed in his recent post at NewYorker.com.
Newshour: Classified pages of a 9/11 report may implicate key U.S. ally ⟶
Why are twenty-eight pages of Congress’s report on the attacks still classified?
Wright sat down with Assharq al-Awsat, the leading Arabic language paper. The interview is only available in Arabic.
Andrea Mitchell interviews Wright and actor Richard Thomas on NBC Nightly News.
The April issue of American Theatre magazine profiles Wright and explores how the new play, Camp David, came to life.
Each of Wright’s plays has been “a big step forward,” [Oskar] Eustis remarks. When playwrights create drama from journalism, “the biggest hurdle is demonstrating to people that the theatre has something to add to this discussion. And there are few people who are better qualified to do that than Larry.”
A Note from Lawrence Wright
We open “Camp David” tomorrow night, with President and Ms. Carter in attendance, along with Jehan Sadat.
Maximum pressure on the actors. And the playwright!
