About the author

Seven time New York Times bestselling author John Weisman is one of a select company of authors to have their books on both the Times nonfiction and fiction bestseller lists. He pioneered coverage of Naval Special Warfare when he co-authored the No. 1 NY Times bestseller "Rogue Warrior," then conceived, created, developed, and wrote eight best-selling Rogue sequels.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Seymour Hersh called his 2004 novel "Jack in the Box" 'The insider's insider spy novel.'
Bestselling author Joseph Wambaugh says of Weisman, "Nobody writes better about the dark, dirty, and dangerous world of the CIA..."
Former CIA case officer and bestselling author Robert Baer says, "John Weisman takes the reader into the very heart of CIA and its special operations."
John's latest special operations novel based on true events was "KBL - KILL BIN LADEN." Sourced and reported as if it were nonfiction, the book was released in November 2011 to universally laudatory reviews.
Bing West, America's foremost writer on war-fighting called "KBL" "An extraordinary look inside Special Operations Fores at the team level." The Iron Mountain Daily News wrote, "Weisman has penned an account that, though technically a work of fiction, resonates with credibility."
And despite two alleged "nonfiction" accounts of Operation Neptune Spear, there are more than a few Special Operations Forces warriors who describe Weisman's "KBL: Kill Bin Laden" as the book that comes closest to holistically capturing the political and military gestalt surrounding the historic Abbottabad raid.
John Weisman lives on Florida's Gulf Coast.

I have to give it a ding due to the Kindle formatting. Marcinko ought to find whoever converted this to the Kindle and layout some serious Rogue justice on them. The book was filled with mis-spellings, and not just a few. I lost count before I was even a third of the way into the book. I could tell a lot of these were due to OCR translations, for example one characters name of Allen was routinely misspelled as A11en (ones instead of L's).
None of the footnotes had links to them, there was just a clump of footnotes at the end of each chapter and you had no clue what text it linked to.
A great book, I wouldn't let the formatting issues stop you from getting it, just be prepared to be annoyed on occasion.
All in all great book! Can't wait for the next.
