Money Money Money!!! - By: Foxylock, 19 Sep 2008
This is a thoroughly enjoyable & entertaining read.Steve Coll chronicles the rise of the Bin Laden family from the beginning of a construction company started by Mohammed Bin Laden an illiterate Yemeni bricklayer to the present day multi faceted empire that still maintains an air of mystery.We alll know of the infamous Osama but Steve Coll unearths a world of clever allliances & religious ambivalence that introduces us to much more fascinating characters.We are taken to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia where puritannical religious virtue is the order of the day until the temptations of western culture with alll its debauchery is bought by the neverending supply of oil money.This is a story of contadictions about a family torn bewteen zealous religious values & good old fashioned fun!!Who wins? Read it yourself..
