Granting extraordinary access to their private world, Osama's wife and son reveal the frightening transformation of a loving husband into a hardened terrorist; his disapproval of modern conveniences, including electricity and medicine; his strategies for toughening up his sons by taking them into the desert without food or water; and his decision to move his wives and children from an orderly life to one of extreme uncertainty. In 1996, Osama chose the 15-year-old Omar to accompany him to his mountain fortress of Tora Bora in Afghanistan, where the risks of hunger and disease soon paled before the dangers of the terrorist camps. With unprecendeted access and insight, bestselling author Jean Sasson takes us inside the secret world of Osama bin Laden.
