A rags-to-riches story that also encapsulates
the clash of traditional and modern ways, Steve
Coll’s THE BIN LADENS: An Arabian
Family in the American Century, recounts the rise of a poor Yemeni
immigrant to Saudi Arabia who works hard and becomes a multi-millionaire. Among
the members of his large family, of course, is Osama bin Laden, and Coll’s
profile of the clan—many of whose members live extravagant, reckless, and short
lives—helps put the radical fundamentalist into perspective. Available in
hardcover.
