Publisher's Summary:
The acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling military thriller writer and coauthor of the bestselling Rogue Warrior series goes beyond the headlines and worldwide speculation in this pulse-pounding fictional account of the breathtaking hunt for the worlds most wanted terrorist, Usama Bin Laden....
Some truths are better told in fiction. In this riveting novel drawn from actual events and based on real-life heroes whose identities remain classified - including soldiers, sailors, intelligence operatives, technocrats, analysts, and policymakers - John Weisman fills in the blanks of what may have happened during the hunt and capture of Usama Bin Laden.
Moving from the political battlefields of Washington, D.C., and the secure, seventh-floor suite of the CIA director in Langley, Virginia, to the dusty streets of Peshawar, Lahore, and Abbottabad, Pakistan, to the rough Afghan interior, to the Middle East and western Europe, this fictional narrative brings to life the drama behind SEAL Team 6s breathtaking raid in which Bin Laden - a.k.a. Crankshaft, a.k.a. al Mas (the Diamond), the ghost, the wraith, the grail for counterterrorists for more than a decade - met his fate.
In the Oval Office, the Pentagon, the CIA, and the State Department, Washingtons power brokers, the president, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Secretary of Defense conduct secret meetings, battle for political supremacy, and make life-and-death choices. Meanwhile, at an anonymous naval installation just south of Virginia Beach, Virginia, the Naval Special Warfare Development Group trains in secret for the mission of a lifetime. And at Vallhalla Base, the CIAs safe house in Abbottabad, dedicated intelligence officers gather intel critical to locating and capturing the elusive Bin Laden.

Really a Must to Read
This is a great book. If you read on kindle you MUST have pen and pad available to note the acronyms and their associated groups/teams/bureaus, etc. There is no glossary at the end of the book but i do understand that if you buy the actual book there is a glossary to refer to, it's just not on the kindle. My only difficulty was remembering what letters stood for what groups and how it related to what was going on in the book. I will reread and have my pen and pad available. I would imagine that this viewpoint is closer to the truth than what we were LED to believe from the media. You'll recognize Hillary (with another name) and the President is only referred to as President.......interesting!
Ripped from the headlines
Bottom Line Up Front: I couldn't put this book down. It is simply outstanding.
John Weisman has written a narrative that seamlessly blends fact and fiction, leaving the reader wondering where the one stops and the other starts. He has ripped more than a years worth of headlines from the AfPak conflict (most notably the Raymond Davis saga--upon which he puts an clever spin) to create a story that is fast paced and incredibly realistic. It doesn't matter how much of it is fact and how much is pure fiction.
