Book Summary

Is New York Burning? (2004/2005) is a high-stakes geopolitical thriller imagining a nuclear terror plot three years after 9/11: a master Palestinian extremist conspires with Saddam Hussein and later Osama bin Laden to acquire a Pakistani nuclear bomb, infiltrate it into New York City, and demand Israel’s withdrawal from occupied territories—or Manhattan will be obliterated within five days .

The novel shifts between the terrorist conspirators, intelligence operatives, world leaders, and U.S. agencies as the crisis unfolds. Fictionalized versions of figures such as Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush, Ariel Sharon, Pervez Musharraf, and Mayor Bloomberg navigate diplomacy and counterterrorism tactics. As the countdown advances, tensions escalate: evacuation plans, military posturing, and political brinkmanship set the stage for a race against time to locate and neutralize the bomb—before catastrophe strikes .

Although character development is sometimes criticized as superficial, the narrative is deeply rooted in extensive research: the authors interviewed countless sources and reviewed thousands of documents over two years, lending authenticity to the procedural action and global political maneuvering.

About the Authors

Larry Collins (1929–2005) was an American historian and journalist educated at Yale. After working for Newsweek in the Middle East and Paris, he partnered with Dominique Lapierre on celebrated nonfiction titles—Is Paris Burning?, O Jerusalem!, and Freedom at Midnight—before turning to fiction. Is New York Burning? was their final collaboration, published shortly before Collins’s death .

Dominique Lapierre is a French author and reporter known for combining historical inquiry with humanitarian storytelling. Alongside Collins, he co-wrote several international bestsellers. Beyond writing, Lapierre directed royalties toward causes in India—such as health, education, and social welfare projects—through foundations like City of Joy and Sambhavna Clinic .
