Al Qaeda expert and CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen
paints a multi-dimensional picture of the hunt for bin Laden over
the past decade, as well as the recent campaign that gradually
tightened the noose around him. Other key elements of the book
include: * A careful account of Obama's decision-making process
throughout the final weeks and days during which the raid was
planned, as well as what NSC cabinet members were advising him. The
fascinating story of a group of (mostly female) analysts at the CIA
in the HVT (High Value Target) section, who never gave up
assembling the tiniest clues about OBL's whereabouts. * The untold
and action-packed history of the Joint Special Operations Command
(JSOC) and the SEALs, which accounts for the confidence Obama had
in tasking them with the mission. * An analysis of what the death
of OBL means for al Qaeda, for the wider jihadist movement that
looked to him for inspiration and strategic guidance, and for
Obama's legacy.
