The stories that are told about the death of Osama bin Laden are
interculturally significant as a reminder of the many culturally
contested junctures, fissures, and ruptures that circulate in the
"true" stories that are told about Operation Neptune's Spear. This
book's critical intercultural approach investigates what U.S. and
international audiences were saying about other cultures while they
wrote and talked about the bin Laden raid. The book explains why so
many elite and public cultural communities have a vested interest
in telling the story of "what happened" during the famous raid. The
authors argue that these mediated debates have become inextricably
entangled in political, military, cultural, and legal rhetorics of
"American exceptionalism", where various U.S. and international
audiences defend or attack particular interpretations of the raid
and comment on the unique values and characteristics of America's
Way of War. This important book gives readers a sense of what these
exceptionalist rhetorics look like when they circulate in different
cultural and military contexts.
