Osama (Chris Ryan)

Osama

Chris Ryan

Blurb: Osama Bin Laden is dead.

The President of the United States knows it. The world know it. And SAS hero Joe Mansfield knows it. He was on the ground in Pakistan when it happened. He saw Seal Team 6 go in, and he saw them extract with their grisly cargo. He was in the right place at the right time.

Or maybe, the wrong place at the wrong time.

Because now somebody wants Joe dead. His world is violently dismantled. His family is targeted, his reputation destroyed. And as he learns of a devastating terror attack on both sides of the Atlantic, Joe knows this: his only chance of survival is to find out exactly what happened in Bin Laden's compound the night the Americans went in.

But an unseen, menacing power has tracks it needs to cover. And it will stop at nothing to prevent him uncovering the sinister truth...

Where In The World is Osama Bin Laden? (Morgan Spurlock)

Where In The World is Osama Bin Laden?

Morgan Spurlock

Blurb: With a baby on the way and a need to make the world safe for infantkind, an unassuming film-maker from West Virginia employs his complete lack of experience, knowledge and expertise to find the most wanted and dangerous man on earth.

Beginning his epic quest in New York City, Morgan Spurlock zigzags the globe in search of the bearded man: to Britain, France, Egypt, Morocco, Israel, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, drawing ever closer to the heart of darkness in the tribal regions of Pakistan. Along the way he interviews experts and imams, breaks the Ramadan fast with Muslim families, identifies the surprising similarities between Osama Bin Laden and Keyser Soze, helps disarm bombs with an Israeli squad, accompanies the British and US Armies in Afghanistan, and much, much more... all in an attempt to understand the Muslim world and the roots of the conflict overshadowing the globe today.

He emerges with a much deeper knowledge of the world into which his child will be born, and of the roots of fundamentalism and the 'war on terror'.
