Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden From 9/11 to Abbottabad by Peter L. Bergen

"Manhunt" is the riveting and insightful ten-year pursuit of America's most wanted man. Best-selling author and acclaimed security analyst Peter L. Bergen provides the most thorough and discerning account of what actually went down and the people behind the manhunt of Bin Laden. This well-researched book reads like a good spy novel and offers keen insight that only a person as well-connected and methodical as Bergen can provide. A page-turner of a book that unfortunately was rushed to meet the one year anniversary and in doing so left out some important intelligence that is becoming available now to the media. Be that as it may, this book was a treat to read and the author closes out the book with a great synopsis of the state of Al-Qaeda and the Middle East in general. This mesmerizing 384-page book is composed of the following fourteen chapters: 1. 9/11 and After, 2.Tora Bora, 3. Al-Qaeda in the Wilderness, 4. The Resurgence of Al-Qaeda, 5. A Working Theory of the Case, 6. Closing In on the Courier, 7. Obama at War, 8. Anatomy of a Lead, 9. The Last Years of Osama bin Laden, 10. The Secret Warriors, 11. Courses of Action, 12. The Decision, 13. Don't Turn On the Light, and 14. Aftermath.

Positives:
1. Peter Bergen is a fantastic author who has an excellent track record.
2. A fascinating topic in the talented hands of a master. Bergen is well-connected and it shows. This is as well-researched a book as you will find.
3. Excellent writer, his prose is engaging and some parts reads like a James Bond film. A page turner indeed.
4. Great insight on how intelligence is collected and the characters involved.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsTRACKING THE WORLD'S MOST WANTED TERRORIST
By RBSProds on May 2, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Five INVESTIGATIVE Stars! In "Manhunt: The Ten Year Search For Bin Laden From 9/11 to Abbottabad", author and national security expert Peter Bergen promises the full story on the tracking down and killing of the Al-Qaeda terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, and the book is full of detail on the manhunt, the raid, and the aftermath. He actually met Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in March 1997 conducting an interview for CNN with two fellow journalists. While bin Laden came off as a mild-mannered person during the interview, his rhetoric spewed "a raw hatred of the United States" and he effectively declared war on the USA. Four years later on 9/11, bin Laden sent Al-Qaeda personnel into the USA to launch his attack on the American people at famous landmarks, killing over 3000 people who also represented citizens of over 90 countries. Author Bergen was the first outside observer to have access to bin Laden's now-destroyed Abbottabad compound in Pakistan and even standing in the bedroom where bin Laden met his demise. Based on high ranking sources, some of whom are named, he was able to trace the CIA's tracking of bin Laden's movements, his familial relationships, and to recreate how the CIA sifted through the haystack of possibilities: finding the key courier that led the US to the compound, and the circumstances of the raid. Indeed, the pursuits of fugitives such as Adolph Eichmann and Mir Aimal Kansi provided the CIA some methodology in the bin Laden chase.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThoroughly Researched
By Natene Hone Hokimaira on June 10, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Renowned as one of America's leading experts on al Qadea and Osama bin Laden, Peter Bergen reflects on the ten year man hunt which finally led to the raid on Osama bin Laden's Pakistan hideaway in the sleepy city of Abbotabad. With access to screeds of material and even the compound in which bin Laden stayed before the Pakistani government demolished it, Bergen serves up a frightfully informed narrative of successive US governments' responses and attempts to capture America's most wanted terrorist. From the failed missile strike by Clinton, to the hamstrung bungle at Tora Bora, bin Laden slipped the net of US clutches and defied the West launching raids against Britain in 2005 while still on the run.

Bergen pieces the puzzle together and reveals not only the efforts by the US government to track bin Laden down over the ten years since 9/11, but also the idealogy of al Qaeda, which according to Bergen, struggled to maintain its image, thanks to vicious campaigns of violence by off-shoot groups like al Qaeda in Iraq. Hemmed in by predator and reaper drones high in the skies above Afghanistan and controversially Pakistan, bin Laden opted to hide in plain site under a self-inflicted house arrest in the hope of avoiding US detection. The vice slowly squeezing during this time, analyts poured over data and Obama threw the dice and opted on a Navy SEAL raid and a chance to put to bed bin Laden forever.

The raid itself will go down as one of military history's most daring and impressive efforts, especially since it almost came unstuck with a downed stealth chopper. The fact it stuck under such heat is testament to the professionalism of the SEAL's, their preparation and training, not to mention the years of effort to bring the intelligence in the first place for them to act on.Read more ›
