Non-Fiction Memoir
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.
