Editorial Review: Product Description: The mission was to kill the most wanted man in the world--an operation of such magnitude that it couldn’t be handled by just any military or intelligence force. The best America had to offer was needed. As such, the task was handed to roughly forty members of America’s supersecret counterterrorist unit formerly known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta; more popularly, the elite and mysterious unit Delta Force. The American generals were flexible. A swatch of hair, a drop of blood, or simply a severed finger wrapped in plastic would be sufficient. Delta's orders were to go into harm's way and prove to the world bin Laden had been terminated. These Delta warriors had help: a dozen of the British Queen’s elite commandos, another dozen or so Army Green Berets, and six intelligence operatives from the CIA who laid the groundwork by providing cash, guns, bullets, intelligence, and interrogation skills to this clandestine military force. Together, this team waged modern siege of epic proportions against bin Laden and his seemingly impenetrable cave sanctuary burrowed deep inside the Spin Ghar Mountain range in eastern Afghanistan. Over the years, since the battle ended, scores of news stories have surfaced offering tidbits of information about what actually happened in Tora Bora. Most of it is conjecture and speculation. This is the real story of the operation, the first eyewitness account of the Battle of Tora Bora, and the first book to detail just how close Delta Force came to capturing bin Laden, how close U.S. bombers and fighter aircraft came to killing him, and exactly why he slipped through our fingers. Lastly, this is an extremely rare inside look at the shadowy world of Delta Force and a detailed account of these warriors in battle. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Kill bin LadenThis was a very readable and interesting book. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's well-written account of events that he participated in. It's a book that is hard to put down due to the intrigue and action from start to finish. I'd highly recommend it for anyone with an interest in what happened in Tora Bora. Rating: - How we lost bin Laden at Tora BoraRequired reading for anyone looking to understand America's failure to kill bin Laden and take down al Qaeda soon after American military forces hit the ground in Afghanistan. The perspective is that of Delta Force commander "Dalton Fury" (pseudonym), whose men advanced against al Qaeda positions in the Tora Bora range alongside Afghan forces, coordinating American air strikes against al Qaeda positions until bin Laden was allowed to flee into Pakistan. Fury's book supplants Jawbreaker: ... Read More Rating: - Book ReviewFirst of all, Amazon delivered the book very quickly, which was much appreciated. The book is interesting in that it is written by someone who was there and hunting Bin Laden and all the information you have to assume is totally factual. Rating:  - Kill bin LadenThe beginning of this book was pretty boring military description. The last hundred and something pages were really interesting. I didn't want to put the book down. Rating: - Outstanding reading.I knew we had Bin Laden but lost the small window. I feel this lost opportunity was wholly Rumsfeld's call. He is Macnamara reborn. A micro-manager who would not listen to his field commanders. This book is outstanding and should be read by everyone! Browse for similar items by category:
