Osama bin Laden's first wife, Najwa (now estranged from her husband), and fourth son, Omar, offer this account of the personal side of bin Laden. Washington Post reviewer Thomas W. Lippman called this book "an inside-the-tent view of a person so blinded by his cause that he strips himself of all humanity." He noted, "It is not necessary to read this book to understand the al-Qaeda threat, but for those seeking deeper knowledge of Osama bin Laden and how his mind works, the book is a valuable supplement to the existing libraries."
