Growing Up Bin Laden: Osama's Wife and Son Take Us Inside Their Secret World
Author(s): Jean Sasson
Granting extraordinary access to their private world, Osama's wife and son reveal the frightening transformation of a loving husband into a hardened terrorist. In 1996, Osama chose the 15-year-old Omar to accompany him to his mountain fortress of Tora Bora in Afghanistan, where the risks of hunger and disease soon paled before the dangers of the terrorist camps. Illustrating the incredible stories with pictures from the family album, bestselling author Jean Sasson takes us inside the world that Osama bin Laden never wanted us to see.
