The Bin Ladens : oil, money, terrorism and the secret Saudi world

by Steve Coll

This history traces the Bin Laden family's rise from Yemeni labouring roots to global prominence in Saudi Arabia. It examines their wealth, ties to the Saudi royal family, and the cultural contradictions that shaped the family's divergent paths in the twentieth century.
