Rising from a famine-stricken desert into luxury, private compounds, and even business deals with Hollywood celebrities, the Bin Ladens have benefited from the tensions and contradictions in a country founded on extreme religious purity, suddenly thrust into a world awash in oil, money, and the temptations of the West. But what do these incongruities mean for globalization, the War on Terror, and America's place in the Middle East? Meticulously researched, \u003ci\u003eThe Bin Ladens\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a remarkably varied and often dangerous family that has used money, mobility, and technology to dramatically different ends.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Coll\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eGhost Wars\u003c\/i\u003e and a professor and dean emeritus of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, and from 2007 to 2013 was president of the New America Foundation, a public policy institute in Washington, D.C.
