Description
Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? by Morgan Spurlock is a work of investigative journalism and travel writing that accompanies the acclaimed documentary of the same name. Written by the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker behind Super Size Me, the book follows Spurlock’s attempt to better understand the global impact of terrorism in the years following the September 11 attacks.
Approaching the subject with curiosity, humour and a willingness to ask difficult questions, Spurlock travels across the Middle East, Europe and Asia, speaking to people from a wide range of backgrounds. Along the way, he explores the political, cultural and social issues surrounding extremism, conflict and international relations. Rather than focusing solely on the search for Osama bin Laden, the book examines the broader forces shaping the modern world and the perspectives of those living closest to these events.
Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? offers an accessible and thought-provoking look at a pivotal period in recent history and will appeal to readers interested in current affairs, travel writing and investigative journalism.
