In The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden, New America's Peter Bergen provides a deep look at Osama 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, and also examines the U.S. counterterrorism effort leading to his death. Published by Simon & Schuster, the book draws on the latest available information on bin Laden, including the documents retrieved during the raid that killed him.
