Bin Laden family biographer Steve Coll ponders several questions about Osama Bin Laden's location, and when and if he believes the al Qaeda leader will ever be captured by U.S. forces.

Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and author of the national bestseller Ghost Wars, Steve Coll presents the story of the Bin Laden family's rise to power and privilege. Cole shows how the family navigated around and through the economic and cultural hurdles, and he presents an authentic humanizing story of Saudi Arabia, America and those caught in the crossfire.

Revealing new information, Coll shows how American influence changed a family's fortune and how one family member's rebellion changed the world - The Commonwealth Club of California
