Lawrence Wright is an American author, screenwriter and a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. He co-wrote the screenplay for the film The Siege (1998). He is the author of six books including The Looming Tower: A history of Al Qaeda (2006), and Remembering Satan: A Tragic Case of Recovered Memory (1994), about the Paul Ingram false memory case.

A quick bestseller, Wright's latest book "The Looming Tower" is frequently referenced as an excellent piece of background reading on the 9/11 terrorist attacks
