Description
Osama's Wife and Son: A Glimpse into their Secret World For the first time, two members of Osama bin Laden's inner circle reveal the truth about his life. His first wife Najwa and their fourth son Omar recount the drama, tensions, and everyday activities of a man feared and revered around the globe. Najwa describes her transformation from falling in love with a quiet young man to living with an authoritarian husband and father, while Omar shares his experiences growing up in remote ranches and fortified camps, handling Kalashnikovs and learning desert survival skills. Their story takes them on a journey of life on the run, fleeing from country to country under assumed names and fake passports. With unprecedented access and exclusive family photographs, Jean Sasson presents a gripping account that sheds new light on the private world of one of the most infamous figures of our time.
