- Synopsis
- As a rule, Americans have very little understanding of the motivations of Osama Bin Laden and his followers, a situation that is not helped by President Bush's mendacious bromides about how "they hate our freedoms." Yet without understanding Bin Laden (a rational, if immoral, political actor) how is one expected to confront the terrorism of his movement? This volume is the first to collect the major statements of Bin Laden in English translation. The statements date from 1994 to 2004 and are presented in chronological order. Editor Lawrence (humanities, Duke U.) provides an introductory essay placing Bin Laden and the statements in historical context. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
