FURTHER READING All the sources employed in researching this book are appropriately cited in the notes. Individuals who were interviewed on the record are thanked in the acknowledgments. Listed below are especially noteworthy books recommended for readers seeking further information. I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of the court transcripts on which I relied so heavily, in particular the case of the United States of America v. Usama bin Laden et al., S(9) 98 Cr. 1023 (LBS). In addition, I wish to commend the exceptional reporting of the New York Times, which has provided—and continues to provide—comprehensive reportage of all aspects of this case.
