This is an intensely gripping account of the hunt for and elimination of Osama bin Laden. With unprecedented access to key sources, Bowden takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and where the action unfolded. The story focuses on bin Laden and on President Obama.
It details the rapid evolution of war-fighting methods over the last decade, as American special forces and intelligence agencies have adapted to fight non-state enemies like Al-Qaeda, and how they came together seamlessly in May 2011 to kill the world's most notorious terrorist. Tracing the operation in blow-by-blow detail, Bowden's book is an unrivaled account of the most high-profile special forces operation ever to have been undertaken.
