bookshelves: middle-east
Read in May, 2008

Well-written and a (relatively) quick read, this book answered many, but not all, of my questions about Osama and the Bin Laden family. I also appreciated the info on the history of Saudi Arabia, its ruling family and the Wahhabi sect.

Happyreader Did you hear the author interviewed on Fresh Air on Tuesday? If not, check it out here http://www.npr.org/templates/story/st... It was fascinating. Maybe I'll add it later too.

Sandra D No, but I saw reviews in several newspapers. My library doesn't have a copy so I asked them to order it.
