Publisher Description
The New York Times–bestselling first-hand account of a Delta Force commando's hunt for the Al-Qaida leader in the months after 9/11.
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 in late 2001, mere months after the September 11th attacks on the United States were carried out on his orders.
In this rare look inside the shadowy world of Delta Force, Fury details just how close US bombers and fighter aircraft came to killing bin Laden, and exactly why he slipped through their fingers.

Dalton Fury, a retired U.S. Army Delta Force Major whose real name was Thomas Harter Greer, passed away at age 52 in 2016. He authored several novels of fiction that I highly recommend. This book, which is non-fiction, focuses on Tora Bora and the mission to seek and kill Osama bin Laden. The mission, detailed in this book, shows how mighty the United States military is; however, it also shines a light on the obstacles we face regarding the Mujahideen (Islamic guerrilla fighters) ' true loyalty and the politics of the war. If you like military books, do not miss out on this one.
