One Big Unhappy Family - The New York Review of Books


http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22412

Interesting review of The Bin Ladens by Steven Coll as well as a in-depth discussion of Saudi history. 

Here's an excerpt: 

"Here the point is very well made by Coll that the origins and development of Osama's thinking are not to be found in anything traditional or scriptural, but are, rather, a response to the tensions of modern Saudi Arabia and of the Middle East as a whole."
