The mission was to kill the most wanted man in the world - an operation of such magnitude that it couldn't be handled by just any military or intelligence force. The best Amierica had to offer was needed. As such, the task was handed to roughly forty members of America's supersecret counterterrorist unit known as Delta Force. Delta's orders were to go into harm's way and prove to the world that Osama bin Laden had been terminated. Those Delta warriors had help: a dozen of the British Queen's elite commandos, another dozen or so Army Green Berets, and six intelligence operatives from the CIA. Together, this team waged a modern siege of epic proportions against bin Laden and his seemingly impenetrable cave sanctuary in eastern Afghanistan. This is the real story of that operation, the first eyewitness account of the Battle of Tora Bora, and the first book to detail just how close Delta Force came to capturing bin Laden and exactly why he slipped through their fingers. This is also an extremely rare inside look at the shadowy world of Delta Force and a detailed account of these warriors in battle.
