Osama bin Laden: Holy War Hero or Terrorist Tycoon (Elite) by the mainland Chinese authors Cao Jun and Cao Jian approaches the topic from the angle of warfare theory, explaining both what "terrorism" means and how it is being practiced in various places around the globe.
由中國大陸作者曹軍、曹建執筆的《奧薩瑪・賓・拉登：聖戰英雄？恐怖大亨？》（時英出版社出版），則是從戰爭理論角度切入，為讀者剖析恐怖主義的意涵、歷年來世界各地恐怖活動情形等。
