Osama Bin Laden

The last time Osama Bin Laden was seen in public was December 2001. Since then 30 audio and video messages have been issued in his name, but sceptics claim they're fakes, implying that both al-Qaeda and the CIA have their own reasons for keeping the idea of the Saudi terrorist alive. But is the Western world's number one enemy still alive? The phrases "probably", "almost certainly" and "this suggests" pepper every interview, though reports that he died eight years ago from kidney disease are dismissed fairly convincingly. "It's easier to explain things away with a conspiracy than to face up to the difficult reality," shrugs former CIA officer Art Keller. The truth, he believes, is that Bin Laden is very crafty - as he avoids all types of modern communication, his enemies can't pinpoint his whereabouts.

With no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA, FBI and countless bounty hunters have failed to do: find the worlds most wanted man.

From Mark Bowden, internationally best-selling and acclaimed author of Black Hawk Down and the preeminent chronicler of the actions of our military and special forces writing today, comes an intensely gripping account of the hunt for and elimination of Osama bin Laden.

When the rumored whereabouts of Osama bin Laden are revealed, the CIA readies a team of seasoned U.S. Navy SEALs for the mission of a lifetime. Despite inconclusive evidence that bin Laden is inside the compound, and ignoring the possible ramifications of an unannounced attack on Pakistani soil, the Pentagon orders the attack. The SEAL Team bands together to complete their mission of justice in a riveting final showdown.
