Résumé
This is a biography of Osama bin Laden, perhaps the preeminent organizer and financier of international terrorism in the world today. It looks at the events that converted a successful engineer into a leader of one of radical Islam’s most successful terror networks, targeting the West that helped educate, enrich, and arm him. His career, from early attacks on the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the USS Cole, and 9/11 is outlined, and his motivations and future plans discussed.
