If you're looking for other books to learn more about Bin Laden, here are some suggestions:
-- "The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century," by Steve Coll, looks at the family that spawned the terrorist leader.
-- "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11," by Lawrence Wright, is a detailed history of Bin Laden's relationship with Islamic militants.
-- "Jawbreaker," by former CIA officer Gary Bernsen, describes the early search for Bin Laden.
-- "Osama Bin Laden," by Michael Scheuer, is a bio by another CIA expert.
