"The Hunt for bin Laden plunges the reader into America's War on Terror, from the first top-secret meetings of Task Force Dagger in Tampa on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, through the liberation of Kabul sixty-two days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda. The book takes the reader into the heat of battle - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground.

This is the story of how only a few hundred men, operating from a secret Special Forces base, changed the course of history in Central Asia and destroyed a hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than ninety days.".

"Action-packed and controversial, The Hunt for bin Laden is teeming with revelations and inside information: the truth about John Walker Lindh and Mike Spann; the failure of the "conventional" generals; the courage of the Northern Alliance; the wounding and murder of journalists; and the flaws and frustrations of the hunt for bin Laden himself.".

"In mid-December 2001, Robin Moore arrived in Afghanistan, where he joined his old friends, whom he had celebrated thirty-five years earlier in his book The Green Berets and who were now calling in airstrikes and fighting alongside the armies of the Northern Alliance against the terrorist al-Qaida and Taliban.

In less than three winter months, about a hundred Green Berets accounted for the deaths of perhaps as many as forty thousand terrorists and the winning of a war in Afghanistan - where the Soviets had found fighting a war all but impossible."--BOOK JACKET.
