How well does America truly know its enemy? A handful of black-and-white photographs illustrate Osama Bin Laden: A Biography, a scholarly yet thoroughly accessible chronicle of the life of the mastermind behind the September 11th attacks. From his life in Saudi society, to the religious transformation that led him to denounce that society and become a jihadist leader, to the horrendous acts of terror that he orchestrated, and how different segments of the Muslim world perceive him (ranging from enemy to near-mythical hero), Osama Bin Laden: A Biography spares no detail in its efforts to accurately reveal the making of this divisive man. Osama Bin Laden: A Biography also pays note to the spread of radical Islam from Egypt to Saudi Arabia to other nations, and the evolution of al-Qaeda to its current level and abilities. A necessary addition to public and college library biography shelves.Похожие книги
