As the western world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden has
fought to keep his personal life a mystery - loyalty and fear
keeping those who know him from speaking out - until now. For the
first time, two of Osama's closest family members, his first wife
Najwa and their fourth son Omar, go behind the headlines to reveal
the truth about the character and life of a man feared and revered
around the globe. In gripping detail, they recount the drama,
tensions, and everyday activities of the man they knew as a husband
and father. Married at fifteen, Najwa describes the transformation
of the quiet, serious young man she fell in love with into an
authoritarian husband and stern father, an entrepreneur, and -
finally - the leader of a complex international terrorist network.
Uprooted from a life of extraordinary luxury and privilege in Saudi
Arabia, they suddenly found themselves living life on the run,
fleeing from country to country under assumed names and fake
passports. Omar describes how he and his siblings were brought up
in remote ranches and fortified Afghani mountain camps, handling
Kalashnikovs and learning desert survival skills. Their eventual
escape from Afghanistan would come just days before the terrible
events of 9/11 changed the world forever. With unprecedented access
and exclusive family photographs, Jean Sasson, author of the
bestselling Princess, presents the story that we were never meant
to hear.
