From Mark Bowden, the preeminent chronicler of our military and
special forces, comes The Finish, a gripping account of the hunt
for Osama bin Laden. With access to key sources, Bowden takes us
inside the rooms where decisions were made and on the ground where
the action unfolded. After masterminding the attacks of September
11, 2001, Osama bin Laden managed to vanish. Over the next ten
years, as Bowden shows, America found that its war with al Qaeda--a
scattered group of individuals who were almost impossible to
track--demanded an innovative approach. Step by step, Bowden
describes the development of a new tactical strategy to fight this
war--the fusion of intel from various agencies and on-the-ground
special ops. After thousands of special forces missions in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the right weapon to go after bin Laden had finally
evolved. By Spring 2011, intelligence pointed to a compound in
Abbottabad; it was estimated that there was a 50/50 chance that
Osama was there. Bowden shows how three strategies were mooted: a
drone strike, a precision bombing, or an assault by Navy SEALs. In
the end, the President had to make the final decision. It was time
for the finish.
