Kill Bin Laden

In Kill Bin Laden, Delta Force Commander “Dalton Fury” gives his first hand account of the events that transpired during the hunt for Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora in late 2001. Fury’s writing gives the reader an inside glimpse of the ultra secretive Delta Force counterterrorism unit and the skills and expertise of the commandos that make up the unit. Even more intriguing is Fury’s explanation of how Bin Laden was able to slip out of eastern Afghanistan and across the border to Pakistan. Shaky alliances with Afghani warlords, unreliable Mujahideen support, shaky alliances between the United States, Pakistan, and Afghanistan; and the reluctance of top military commanders to install American commandos at the frontlines all hampered Delta’s mission to kill the most wanted man in the world.

Despite the odds stacked against them, Delta commandoes were able to clear out enemy forces in Tora Bora; something the Soviets were unable to accomplish in a decade of warfare.
