| "By December 2001, only three months after America was attacked on September 11, Delta Force was already on the ground in enemy territory, an elite group of American commandos cutting their teeth in this new war on terror by rampaging from cave to cave in Afghanistan's snow-covered Tora Bora Mountains, hot on the heels of Usama bin Laden and laying waste to scores of Taliban and al Qaeda fighters..." (from the first line) This work offers a first-hand account of the Battle of Tora Bora and an insider''s look at the extraordinary nature of America''s super secret counterterrorist unite--an elite and mysterious group known as Delta Force. 16-page b&w photo insert.
Annotation:
Dalton Fury provides a first-person account of the dramatic post-9/11 mission by the elite U.S. commando force that officially does not exist. Their mission involved "unfinished business": to go behind enemy lines and find and kill Osama bin Laden. Fury writes to set the record straight about what really happened at Tora Bora in 2002, and he tells just how close the group of commandos came to reaching their target. Along the way he provides information about how Delta Force trains and fights, and how these complex military operations are planned and executed. KILL BIN LADEN provides a warrior's view of the war on terror, and a leader's pride in his troops and their mission.
