Kill Bin Laden A Delta Force Commander's account of the hunt for the world's most wanted man

In this firsthand account of a Delta Force operative involved in the hunt for Osama bin Laden in the months following September 11 up through the Battle of Tora Bora, the pseudonymous Fury explains how and why bin Laden was able to escape because of poor decisions and the shaky alliance between the U.S., Pakistan and Afghanistan. While the arguments for the failure to capture bin Laden are interesting, Fury's account of his training and the Delta Force exploits prove more compelling, giving readers insight into the range of skill and expertise of this elite military group. David Drummond proves a curious choice since he doesn't have a commanding and authoritative voice that one may expect from a text written from a military perspective, yet his firm yet nonchalant tone works well with Fury's prose, revealing an agreeable personality. However, Drummond's voice doesn't elicit the sense of danger that some of the more chaotic scenes require. A St. Martin's Press hardcover. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

"Mr. President if you had let these guys run this war it would have been over by now. Read this book now, all of you. [Kill Bin Laden is] the best book ever written by a special operations insider. This guy Fury's men are the real-deal Delta Force operators. You need to know what happened at Tora Bora, and this great book will tell you." --Colonel David Hunt, U.S. Army (Ret.), New York Times bestselling author of They Just Don't Get It and On The Hunt, and FOX News Special Ops and Counterterrorism Analyst "Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta is without doubt one of the most fearsome military units ever assembled, with many camp followers seeking with only limited success to record its deeds. There is only one way to know what really happened in any Delta mission, and that is to be there. Delta officer Dalton Fury didn't just take part in the battle of Tora Bora, he commanded all the special operations troops, both U.S. and British, who were there. Kill Bin Laden is a proud, riveting, warts-and-all account of that battle, one of the most important special operations missions of all time." --Michael Smith, author of KILLER ELITE: The Inside Story of America's Most Secret Special Operations Team "An important, must-read book about real warriors. A story that so positively reflects what on-the-ground decision making, professional acceptance of risk, and maximizing interagency cooperation can do. Dalton Fury shows us with amazing detail and insight what highly trained and motivated special operators can accomplish successfully in combat out of all proportion to their numbers." --Cofer Black, former chief of the Central Intelligence Agency's Counter Terrorist Center Excerpted from Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account of the Hunt for the World's Most Wanted Man by Dalton Fury All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
