This concise biography of the world's most notorious terrorist
tells the fascinating story of the evolution of a wealthy
businesman's son to the 9/11 mastermind who declared war on
America. Osama bin Laden: A Biography offers a concise, fact-based
portrait of a man whose rise from obscurity to notoriety coincides
with some of the most traumatic events of the 21st century. It
follows bin Laden's story from his life in Saudi society in the
1960s and 1970s to his religious conversion, his emergence as a
jihadist leader, his horrifying terrorist attacks, and his
near-mythic status in parts of the Muslim world today. Drawing on a
wide range of sources, Osama bin Laden finds the political and
religious roots of a worldview that combines devout faith with a
belief in violence and terrorism. The book pays particular
attention to the spread of radical Islam from Egypt to Saudi Arabia
and beyond, as well as the development of Al Qaeda and its current
scope and capabilities.
