About this audiobook
Al Qaeda expert and CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen paints a multidimensional picture of the hunt for bin Laden over the past decade, including the operation that killed him. Other key elements of the book will include:
A careful account of Obama's decision-making process as the raid was planned
The fascinating story of a group of CIA analysts-largely women-who never gave up assembling the tiniest clues about OBL's whereabouts
The untold and action-packed history of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and the SEALs
An analysis of what the death of OBL means for al Qaeda, and for Obama's legacy.
Just as Too Big to Fail captured, in riveting detail, the anatomy of this decade's financial disaster, so too is Manhunt one of the key stories of this decade: the authoritative, immersive account of the operation that killed the man who organized the largest mass murder in American history.
