作者简介

电影封面版！改编同名电影由汤姆汉克斯 Tom Hanks 与茱莉亚罗勃兹 Julia Roberts 两大巨星共同主演，讲述传奇国会议员 Charlie Wilson 的故事，入围多项金球奖，问鼎奥斯卡金像奖！2003 年出版时，荣登 New York Times纽约时报、Washington Post华盛顿日报、Los Angeles Times 洛杉矶时报三大畅销榜！



Charlie Wilson 是德州的国会议员，他的形象放荡不羁，但他的内心实在是一位忠心的爱国份子、并且关怀弱势，只是绯闻多了点。在1979年苏联入侵阿富汗，这事完全激发了他同情阿富汗、抵抗苏联的正义感与同情心，于是与 CIA 的一名探员合作，为阿富汗的斗士筹措资金、准备武器及资源；为了达成这个目标，在冷战期间， Wilson和他的搭档想尽办法争取官方和非官方的资源，不仅让美国政府资助对抗苏联的行动经费增加两百倍到十亿美元，也打通各种关节让资源可以顺利到阿富汗自由斗士们的手上，这一切的努力，都使得最后苏联不得不从阿富汗撤退，让 Wilson 成为冷战史上让人无法遗忘的重要人物。



A gripping and vibrant book soon to be released as a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts and directed by Mike Nichols, Charlie Wilson’s War was a New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times best seller when it was published in 2003. Crile’s book is the true story of how a Texas Congressman and a rogue CIA agent conspired to launch the biggest, meanest, and most successful CIA campaign ever — the operation to fund the mujahideen in their fight against the Soviet army that had invaded Afghanistan. Moving from the back rooms of the Capitol to secret chambers at Langley, from arms dealers’ conventions to the Khyber Pass, Charlie Wilson’s War presents an astonishing chapter of our recent past, and the key to understanding what helped trigger the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union and ultimately led to the emergence of a brand-new foe in the form of radical Islam.
