About this ebook

The New York Times bestseller Kill Bin Laden is an explosive first-hand account of a Delta Force commando's hunt for the world's most wanted man.

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 formally known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta; more popularly, the elite and mysterious unit Delta Force.

Told by senior ranking military officer Dalton Fury, 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.

Ratings and reviews

This book is like all wrong , Navy SEALs were the ones to kill bin laden , no delta force was reported taking action

The author does a fantastic job of simplifying the struggles of modern warfare for the bulk of civilian readers unable to fully immerse themselves in a real world combat scenario. Yet he doesn't oversimplify things, so when I read it ( or any Vet, civi, that has knowledge of these very complicated scenarios) I can track what the writer is saying. It's like the best debreifing I have ever sat through. One I paid money for!! Not once did I have to go stand up so I could prevent myself from narcolepsy.

A nice stroy could not stop once you started it's really a wow!
