Bin Laden: Behind The Mask Of The Terrorist (2001) By Adam Robinson
 
Inside Story of the World's Most-Feared Man Based on new information provided by members of Bin Laden's family, this book exposes for the first time the inside story of the world's most-wanted terrorist from his childhood to the astounding, catastrophic act of terror in New York on 11 September 2001. This first comprehensive insight into the life of the renegade prophet of the apocalypse reveals the roots of his discontent, detailing his privileged childhood riven by jealousies and family politics, and his youth laced with prostitutes, hedonism and lengthy periods of alcohol abuse. Fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, Osama then found "religion" and rapidly grew to be fundamentalist Islam's biggest star. Behind the propaganda of a self-styled zealous freedom-fighter the book uncovers a man driven by the need for acceptance and adulation; one who deftly manipulated the institutions he claimed to despise in order to further his own terrible ends; who condemned depravity while keeping a hand in heroin trade and extortion.
