“CAN’T-PUT-IT-DOWN THRILLER, ABSORBING PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY, METICULOUS DETECTIVE STORY, ILLUMINATING SAGA.” —David Maraniss
Pulitzer Prize-winning author @JobyWarrick delves into the spectacular rise and dramatic fall of super-assassin Carlos the Jackal—one of history’s most infamous terrorist masterminds.
THE JACKAL is out August 18.

The terrorist wave that propelled Carlos the Jackal to fame was fueled by a strange mix of ideologies and grievances. Strikingly, many of the ingredients of ‘70s terror are back. I break it down with @jaysolomon and @HagarChemali on @gwpoe's podcast The Threat.
What made Carlos the Jackal one of the most notorious terrorists of the 20th century - and what can his story tell us about terrorism today?
On the latest episode of The Threat Podcast, Jay Solomon and Hagar Chemali speak with Pulitzer-winning journalist @JobyWarrick about newly uncovered intelligence files, Carlos’s rise, his international network, and the operation that finally captured him.

"The terrorists arrived by streetcar..." More from my interview with the great @juliandorey on my new book "The Jackal." @ScribnerBooks
Joby Warrick has written about Zarqawi ISIS and Carlos the Jackal.
He is very good at writing villains.
He says that is a curse.
He also explains why he told the Vienna terrorist attack twice in The Jackal and what each telling was designed to accomplish.
Why he writes to Mozart's Requiem when working on his most difficult material.
And why his next book needs to be about a hero.

"People forget about Carlos the Jackal...but this guy was a nightmare!"
And he didn't actually give a crap about politics.
He liked large paychecks and killing people.
