John Stockwell directs this tense action drama documenting the
covert mission undertaken by a US Navy Seal team to capture or kill
Osama Bin Laden. After receiving intelligence that their quarry is
hiding out in a compound in Pakistan, the CIA mobilise crack US
Navy Seal Team 6 to train for a daring night-time raid. After
arriving at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, and being put through
punishingly intensive training for their mission, the team learn
that their target is Osama Bin Laden, codename: Geronimo. As they
set out on the deadliest mission of their lives, the unit must come
together in one final, all or nothing attempt to take down
America's most wanted terrorist.
" The United States' goal in Angola] was not to keep out the Cubans
and Soviets but to make their imperial efforts as costly as
possible to prove that, after Vietnam, we were still capable of
response, however insane. It is the story that has been told, and
in impressive and convincing detail, by John Stockwell, the former
chief of the CIA's Angola 'task force.' His book should not be
missed. Since strategic thought survives by ignoring experience, it
has a highly professional interest in avoiding accounts such as
this. By the same token, all who are alarmed about the tendency
toward such strategic thinking should strongly welcome Mr.
Stockwell's book." --John Kenneth Galbraith, New York Review of
