Reviews
Acclaim forOsama "The volume does a nimble and often highly compelling job of leading the reader through the labyrinth of information and speculation about Al Qaeda and the broader jihadi movement, showing how Islamic terrorism has evolved and proliferated over the last two and a half decades . . . [Randal] provides a succint account of how the 1980s anti-Soviet jihad in Afghanistan brought together Islamic radicals from around the world, inflamed their self-righteousness and anger, and gave them faith in their ability to bring a superpower to its knees."--Michiko Kakutani,New York Times "[A] meticulous account of the emergence and spread of the terror virus [and a] map of world that produced him and his fellow Islamists." --Ben Macintyre,New York Times Book Review "An account that is simultaneously detailed and fast paced . . . witty, opinionated, and highly urbane . . . Of all the flutter of bin Laden and Al Qaeda books, Randal has produced the most readable and informative." --Richard A. Clarke,Boston Sunday Globe "Randal is at his best when intuiting the nuances of terrorism and the particular Middle Eastern culture from whence it springs." --Robert Kaplan,Washington Post Book World "A detailed and compelling look at the man who has galvanized fears of global terrorism . . . fascinating, informative." -Booklist "An outstanding achievement . . . a thorough and penetrating look"--Publisher's Weekly(starred) "A masterful work of reporting." --Kirkus Reviews(starred)

Synopsis
How is it possible for one middle-aged Saudi millionaire to threaten the world's only superpower? This is the question at the center of Jonathan Randal's riveting, timely account of Osama bin Laden's role in the rise of terrorism in the Middle East. Randala journalist whose experience of the Middle East spans the past forty yearsmakes clear how Osama's life epitomizes the fatal collision between twenty-first-century Islam and the West, and he describes the course of Osama's estrangement from both the West and the Saudi petro-monarchy of which his family is a part. He examines Osama's terrorist activities before September 11, 2001, and shows us how, after the attack on the World Trade Center, Osama presented the West with something new in the annals of contemporary terrorism: an independently wealthy entrepreneur with a seemingly worldwide following ready to do his bidding. Randal explores the possibility that Osama offered the Saudis his Al-Qaeda forces to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991; he traces the current sources of Osama's money; and he tells us why the Iraq war has played into the hands of the terrorists. With his long-maintained sources in the Middle East and his intimate understanding of the region, Randal gives us a clearer explanation than any we have had of the whys and wherefores of the world's most prominent and feared terrorist.
