Book Overview

The New York Times bestseller Kill Bin Laden is an explosive first-hand account of a Delta Force commando's hunt for the world's most wanted man.

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, 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.

How we lost bin Laden at Tora Bora

Required reading for anyone looking to understand America's failure to kill bin Laden and take down al Qaeda soon after American military forces hit the ground in Afghanistan. The perspective is that of Delta Force commander "Dalton Fury" (pseudonym), whose men advanced against al Qaeda positions in the Tora Bora range alongside Afghan forces, coordinating American air strikes against al Qaeda positions until bin Laden was...

Excellent first hand perspective

Having read many of the journalists reports on the action that took place in Tora Bora during November and December of 2001 this is the first account that I've read by someone with direct first hand knowledge of that fighting. What makes this account particularly valuable is that the author was the on the ground commander of the elite American and British units involved in the fighting. His perspective gives you probably the...

Enter the spine-tingling world of Delta Force

Bravo for the author Fury... I see that other reviewers have highly detailed the gist of the story, so I'll state little more than I found the book to be excellent. I received it yesterday and I got so caught up in the story that I read it through to the last page at 3AM this morning. A gripping read that I could not postpone finishing...for sure, any reader should come away in awe at the life and death adventures of these...

Enlightening read that should make you angry.

I thought we'd learned some expensive lessons in Vietnam. Apparently I'm wrong, and the proof of that is the book Kill bin laden (lower case intentional) by Dalton Fury (not the real name) and Col. David Hunt. In Vietnam there was constant interference by Washington in the conducting of operations in the field. I thought we'd learned to turn command of combat operations over to field commanders, define, in advance, the...

An exceptional, superb, first hand account by the team leader of US Army Special Forces Detachment D

It is rare that readers are provided a first hand, accurate, contemporary, non politically constrained account of a major special operation by US Army Special Forces Detachment Delta. Many organizations claim the title, "special operations;" it takes more than a title. Major Dalton Fury's book explains in complete detail what real special operations are about. Readers may pound the book on the table as they learn that Fury,...
