5.0 out of 5 starsRunkle Superb Storyteller
By Isreal Potter on September 13, 2011
Format: Hardcover
Yes, Ben Runkle has a PhD from Harvard, but he doesn't write like an academic. Intelligent and insightful: Yes. But what made me really enjoy this book was the way Runkle makes the history of U.S. Manhunts come alive with great portrayals of the larger than life heroes and villians that grace his pages. Impeccable research is one thing, and that is all here in full; but the art of turning "History" into an insightful page-turner is what makes Runkle top shelf material on the level of say a David Hackett-Fischer.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Read!
By Cincinatus77 on January 25, 2012
Format: Hardcover
Some books must be on your bookshelf and this is one of them. Ben Runkle's book, "Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts from Geronimo to Bin Laden," is a superb read and a perfect primer to understanding counter-terrorist warfare. Ben is a Soldier, academic and author who provides valuable insights into one of the most important issues of our time - how to counter trans-national terrorism by striking at the head of the snake. This book explains with clarity and precision the story of our past manhunts and how hard it was to find and target some of America's most notorious enemies - Geronimo, Emilio Aguinaldo, Pancho Villa, Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein, Abu Musab al-Zaqawi and Osama bin Laden. This book should be read by anyone interested in national security, war and international relations in the 21st Century. Most importantly, it is a vital read for the informed citizen. Review by: Colonel John Antal, US Army (Re.t), military historian, author and military affairs expert.

5.0 out of 5 stars"Wanted Dead or Alive" book review.
By F. Socha on October 15, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Having a son in "Special Forces" and an interest in military and western history this book was a must read for me. Stories of the Apache campaign, Pancho Villa, Noriega, Bin Laden and others were very interesting. Gives you a clear understanding of some of the things our troops go through to get the job done.

5.0 out of 5 starsInsightful and Relevant!
By Rob T on August 29, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Excellent read! Thoroughly enjoyed Runkle's historical detail and summary analysis. Any government leader considering expending national resources to capture or kill a "strategic" target would do well to heed Runkle's points.

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
"Manhunts..." is entertaining, informative, and points to a basis for dealing with terrorism into the future. The story telling is engrossing and the facts are well documented. Runkle teases out the lessons from our past successes and failures in military manhunts.
