bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America

Osama bin Laden is perhaps the preeminent organizer and financier of international terrorism in the world today. Who is this man and what drives him--and those he leads--to hate a West that helped educate, enrich, and arm him? World-renowned terrorism expert Yossef Bodansky reveals the events in bin Laden's life that turned this once-enterprising engineer into a leader of radical Islam's terror network, whose targets are U.S. citizens and assets. In the process, Bodansky uncovers an incredible web of Middle Eastern operatives beholden to a cold-blooded regime in Iran and supported by many of America's allies. In Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America, you will come face to face with a brutal war waged by fanatics who willingly give their own lives--and extinguish the lives of countless innocents--for the dream of an Islamic world. This book is a wake-up call for those who believe the fall of the Soviet Empire brought about a safer world.
