From 9/11 to Osama bin Laden's Death Edited by Bruce Hoffman and Fernando Reinares Examining major terrorist acts and campaigns undertaken in the decade following September 11, 2001, internationally recognized scholars study the involvement of global terrorist leaders and organizations in these incidents and the planning, organization, execution, recruitment, and training that went into them.
