Top Three OSAMA books

Ding dong the CIA witch is dead. It's too late to grab yourself $50,000,000 by studying up on OBL but you can still impress your friends with the help of these titles -

Osama Bin Laden- This ones by Michael Scheuer, chief of the CIA’s bin Laden unit from 1996 to 1999. He seems fairly impressed with Osamas bin Laden ability to lure America into Pakistan and thus kick off global jihad. Scheuer knows his man though and praises Osamas intelligence in contrast to the cartoonish image that western media seems to enjoy betraying. It was also written in 2011, which is definitely suspicious and leads me to two contrasting theories
1. Scheuer was either tipped off by CIA pals or was directly instrumental in the death of Osama in order to increase book sales
2. This illustrates the incompetence of the CIA intelligence as now the  book will need a new epilogue which would have been unnecessary if the books publication had been delayed a couple of months


2. The Osama bin Laden I Know: An Oral History of al Qaeda's Leader Bergens an old pal of Osama don't you know, go way back. Bergen in 1997 had a chat and a nice cup of tea with Osama and ever since then hes made a career out of it. He has written many books on the subject of Terrorism and heres another one. Again illustrating the importance of timing in the book game, this will now have to be reprinted as "The Osama I knew."


Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama Bin Laden Bernard Lewis called it a "A magnificent piece of eloquent, at times even poetic Arabic prose ... in devising strategies to fight the terrorists, it would be useful to understand the forces that drive them." So obviously he was impressed, and you can impress your friends too when you regurgitate "The Churchill of the Middle East" many moving speeches.
