Reviews
"Of the raft of books that are marking the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and its aftermath, few are likely to be as meticulously documented, as fluidly written or as replete with riveting detail as Peter Bergen's The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden ... A page-turner." -- The New York Times Book Review "The portrait [Bergen] draws is intimate and detailed..." -- The Washington Post " Comprehensive, authoritative, and compelling." -- H.R. McMaster, author of Dereliction of Duty and Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World "Well written. Its prose is crisp and clean. Its style will appeal to specialists and non-specialists alike...The result is an enjoyable and informative read." -- Washington Free Beacon "A compelling, nuanced portrait of America's erstwhile public enemy No. 1... Throughout, Bergen turns up revealing details and sharp arguments against received wisdom... Essential for anyone concerned with geopolitics, national security, and the containment of further terrorist actions." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Bergen adds intriguing new details to the story of Osama bin Laden in this solid, well-sourced biography....Surprising insights and fluid prose enrich this authoritative portrait of the terrorist leader and the movement he inspired.

Synopsis
The world's leading expert on Osama bin Laden delivers for the first time the definitive biography of a man who set the course of American foreign policy for the 21st century, and whose ideological heirs we continue to battle today. In The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden , Peter Bergen provides the first reevaluation of the man responsible for precipitating America's long wars with al-Qaeda and its descendants, capturing bin Laden in all the dimensions of his life: as a family man, as a zealot, as a battlefield commander, as a terrorist leader, and as a fugitive. The book sheds light on his many contradictions: he was the son of a billionaire, yet insisted his family live like paupers. He adored his wives and children, depending on two of his wives, both of whom had PhDs, to make important strategic decisions. Yet he also brought ruin to his family. He was fanatically religious, yet willing to kill thousands of civilians in the name of Islam. He inspired deep loyalty yet, in the end, his bodyguards turned against him. And while he inflicted the most lethal act of mass murder in United States history, he failed to achieve any of his strategic goals. The lasting image we have of bin Laden in his final years is of an aging man with a graying beard watching old footage of himself, just another dad flipping through the channels with his remote. In the end, bin Laden died in a squalid suburban compound, far from the front lines of his holy war. And yet despite that unheroic denouement, his ideology lives on. Thanks to exclusive interviews with family members and associates, and documents unearthed only recently, Bergen's portrait of Osama will reveal for the first time who he really was and why he continues to inspire a new generation of jihadists., Almost a Decade after his 9/11 victory bin Laden, aged fifty-four, had now found what he believed to be the perfect hiding place in Abbottabad. He was living out a comfortable retirement in an obscure Pakistani city in the pleasant foothills of the Himalayas, the kind of urban backwater where few expected him to be hiding. He should have been feeling content. Yet during the first weeks of 2011, bin Laden was in state of agitation. History, it seemed, was passing him by. The Arab world was in unprecedented upheaval, and the man who had hoped to bring attention to the frustrations of that world with the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. territory was being ignored. Over the next two months, he and five members of his family living on the compound spent many days preparing a statement he would release to the Muslim world. On May 1, the family notetaker said they planned to discuss the latest version the next day. Then bin Laden went to bed with his youngest wife, Amal, in his top-floor bedroom together with their three-year-old son, Hussain. Bin Laden and Amal were sleeping when they were startled awake shortly after midnight by a noise that sounded like a strange storm. They heard the unexpected throb of helicopter rotors over their heads and then a loud crash as one of those helicopters landed heavily in a small field inside the walls of bin Laden's large compound. Amal reached to turn on the light in their bedroom. Bin Laden quickly told her, "No!" He realized that it was all over. The Americans had finally found him. Book jacket.
