      abstract = {The Bin Ladens rose from poverty to privilege; they  loyally served the Saudi royal family for generations--and  then one of their number changed history on September 11,  2001. Journalist Steve Coll tells the story of the rise of  the Bin Laden family and of the wildly diverse lifestyles  of the generation to which Osama bin Laden belongs, and  against whom he rebelled. Starting with the family's escape  from famine at the beginning of the twentieth century,  through its jet-set era in America after the 1970s oil  boom, and finally to the family's attempts to recover from  September 11, this book unearths extensive new material  about the family and its relationship with the United  States, and provides a richly revealing and emblematic  narrative of our globally interconnected times.--From  publisher description.},
