BIN LADEN - The Man Who Declared War on America (book)

By Yossef Bodansky

Who is Osama bin Laden – the only terrorist leader ever to have declared a holy war against America? What drove him and those he led 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 American lives, including the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000 and the destruction of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. After that, the leader of the terror organization responsible for the 9-11 attacks promised even more outrageous and lethal assaults on the American homeland.

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.

Bodansky, an internationally renowned military and threat analyst, is the director of research of the International Strategic Studies Association and senior editor for the Defense & Foreign Affairs group of publications. In addition, he was the director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare. The author of eight books on international terrorism and global crises and a former senior consultant to the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, Bodansky actively participates in international forums and conferences in the United States and abroad.
