Osama Bin Laden dead: read about his life

I'm sure it won't be long before we get a book (and mini-series and movie) recounting the details of the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.

Publisher's Weeky reports that St. Martin's Press is rushing to bookstores "SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy Seal Sniper," to take advantage of interest in the group that led the attack on Bin Laden's hideout. (Meanwhile, a New York Magazine blog notes that the next project for Kathryn Bigelow, director of "The Hurt Locker," is reportedly based around a failed mission to hunt down Bin Laden.)

If you're looking for other books to learn more about Bin Laden, here are some suggestions:

-- "The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century," by Steve Coll, looks at the family that spawned the terrorist leader.

-- "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11," by Lawrence Wright, is a detailed history of Bin Laden's relationship with Islamic militants.

-- "Jawbreaker," by former CIA officer Gary Bernsen, describes the early search for Bin Laden.

-- "Osama Bin Laden," by Michael Scheuer, is a bio by another CIA expert.
