"There wasn't a meeting when someone didn't mention Black Hawk Down
." - A senior Obama administration official, as quoted in The New
York Times, 02/05/2011 From Mark Bowden, internationally
bestselling and acclaimed author of Black Hawk Down and the
preeminent chronicler of the actions of the US military and special
forces writing today, comes an intensely gripping account of the
hunt for and elimination of Osama bin Laden. With unprecedented
access to key sources and his great gift for storytelling, Bowden
takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and where the
action unfolded. The story focuses on bin Laden, who maintained a
steady stream of despairing correspondence in hiding in the year
before his death, and on President Obama, perceived by many as an
anti-war candidate because of his opposition to the Iraq War, whose
evolving views and enormous responsibilities have turned him into
one of the most determined warriors to ever inhabit the White
House. It details the rapid evolution of war-fighting methods over
the last decade, as American special forces and intelligence
agencies have adapted to fight non-state enemies like Al-Qaeda, and
how they came together seamlessly in May 2011 to kill the world's
most notorious terrorist. Tracing the operation in blow-by-blow
detail, Bowden's book is an unrivaled account of the most
high-profile special forces operation ever to have been undertaken,
and a page-turning narrative of how the man behind 9/11 was finally
brought to justice.
