Who is Osama bin Laden, the only terrorist leader ever to have declared a holy war? What
drives him and those he leads to hate a West that helped enrich and arm them? Bin Laden's
name has been linked to a number of incidents that have cost Americans their lives, including
the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000 and the destruction of the American embassies in
Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. Now, he is linked to the catastrophic assaults on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Here is a comprehensive account of the rise of bin Laden. In meticulous detail, world-renowned
terrorism expert Yossef Bodansky uncovers the events in bin Laden's life that turned the
once-promising engineering student into a cold-blooded leader of radical Islam. In the process,
Bodansky reveals a chilling story that is as current as today's headlines but as ancient as the
Crusades, a story that transcends bin Laden and any other single man. This book is a sobering
wake-up call.

Yossef Bodansky, an internationally renowned military and threat analyst, is the director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare. A former senior consultant to the U.S. Departments of Defense and State, he is the author of eight books on international terrorism and global crises.
