On the Trail and Inside the Mind of Osama bin Laden

In Episode 20 of his podcast "In the Room with Peter Bergen," New America Vice President and ASU Professor of Practice Peter Bergen delves into the questions of who Osama bin Laden was, how he thought, and how the U.S. tracked him down:

It's impossible to understand the events of 9/11 without understanding Osama bin Laden. Who was he? What was he hoping to achieve with the attack? How did the US track him down? And what can we learn from that story now? Three women - a CIA analyst, an FBI investigator, and a scholar who read 6,000 pages of documents recovered from bin Laden’s compound after he was killed - recount how they came to know and understand Osama bin Laden.
