Dead or Alive: Bin Laden's Last Days

Written by the author of the critically acclaimed A Democracy Is Born (Praeger, 2007), The American Military after 9/11 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008), and the six-volume series The Impact of 9/11: The Day that Changed Everything? (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009), DEAD OR ALIVE: BIN LADEN’S LAST DAYS is a suspense-filled action thriller that takes the reader on an exciting fictional adventure in the days leading up to Osama Bin Laden’s death. We meet bin Laden, the world’s most wanted criminal and most hated and feared terrorist, in the remote village where he has secreted himself in Pakistan. The story unfolds with fast-paced developments in the war raging on Afghanistan and Pakistan’s remote border, following CIA interrogators, Delta Force operatives, U.S. political power players, Pashtun tribal fighters, and al Qaeda terrorists as events march towards Bin Laden’s death, but not in a way anyone would expect. The author is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, where he was awarded the Bronze Star for his service in U.S. Army intelligence, and his insider’s perspective gives the story exceptional realism and cutting-edge authenticity.
