Synopsis

The mission was to kill the most wanted man in the world—a mission important enough it couldn't be handled by just any American military or intelligence force. This was a mission of international importance, and the best America had to offer was needed. As such, the task was handed to roughly forty members of America's supersecret counterterrorist unit—an elite and mysterious unit known as Delta Force.
These Delta warriors had help, about as good a help as you can get. The CIA, a dozen of the British Queen's elite commandos, and another dozen or so Army Green Berets stepped up. This team waged a modern-day siege of epic proportions against Osama bin Laden and his seemingly impenetrable cave sanctuary burrowed deep inside the Spin Ghar Mountain range.

Over the years since the battle ended, scores of news stories have surfaced offering tidbits of information about what actually happened in Tora Bora. Most of it is conjecture and speculation. Kill Bin Laden is the first ever accurate, firsthand account of this battle and an inside look at the extraordinary nature of Delta Force and how they operate.

The author clearly says on the jacket and foreword that this is the only real account and how no one else who's written about Tora Bora was there and so he wrote this book to correct all the poor, secondhand accounts. Then he acknowledges that Gary Berntsen was there (JawBre......more

On 12/14/2001, Delta force commandos embedded with Afghan war lord forces surrounded bin Laden around Tora Bora. In his desperation, bi Laden instructed his followers to surrender. He eventually escaped. It’s unclear whether he was clever in the escape or was deliberately set free by the Muslim figh......more

Goodreads review by Nannie on February 11, 2022

I have loved Dalton Fury’s other books, but he tends to get way too technical with Army abbreviations and descriptions of weapons. This book was way too long and was boring with all the detailed descriptions of terrain, etc. I would not recommend this book.......more

A fantastic look behind the scenes of the months long battle of Tora Bora. One of few non-fiction books that doesn't read like one (dry) but doesn't transcend the realm of feeling like fiction.......more

Goodreads review by Bob on May 01, 2015

Before Seal Team Six finally found Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011 and ended his days, the US government thought he was hiding in the Tora Bora mountain area of Afghanistan. This book is about a joint effort of the Delta Force and the CIA to find and kill him at the end of 2001. It's an inte......more
