Osama bin Laden was and remains America's most formidable and implacable enemy. And yet no one has written a serious assessment of his influence over world events in the last decade. Available biographies depict him as crazed and marginal--or simply as a gangster, fanatic, or nihilist. These accounts, Michael Scheuer believes, have contributed to a widespread and dangerous denial of his impact and significance. In Osama bin Laden Scheuer provides a corrective: an objective and authoritative portrait of bin Laden that will show him to be a man of remarkable leadership skills, strategic genius, and considerable rhetorical abilities. For ten years, he has eluded capture despite being the most hunted man in the world.
