"The best-selling author of Black Hawk Down tells the story of the hunt for Osama bin Laden, based on extensive reporting, analysis, and interviews with President Obama, his national security staff, former SEALs, CIA officers, and others who can not be named. THE TARGET: "It is proven that the American technology and its modern systems cannot arrest a mujahid if he does not commit a security error that leads them to him. So adherence to securing precautions makes their advanced technology a loss and a disappointment to them." - Osama Bin Laden, in an unsent letter to al Qaeda Number Three, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, written five days before Osama's death and discovered in the Abbottabad compound. THE FIRST INKLING: "Mr President, Leon and the guys at Langley think they may have come up with something. Something related to bin Laden, we don't know yet what this is, but I think you need to have them in here for a briefing." - Thomas Donilon, Deputy National Security Adviser, August 2010. THE TIP-OFF: "I'm with the same ones as before." - Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed (AKA "The Kuwaiti") Osama bin Laden's courier, speaking to a friend on a phone call tapped by the CIA, Abbottabad, Pakistan, June 2010. THE EXPERT OPINION: "This is the best lead we've had on bin Laden since Tora Bora." - "John", Head of the CIA'S Bin Laden Team, June 2010. THE STRATEGY: " A simple plan, carefully concealed, repeatedly and realistically rehearsed, and executed with surprise, speed, and purpose." - Vice Admiral William McRaven, Commander, Joint Special Operations Command, "The Theory of Special Operations". THE RISK: "Mr. President, if we had a human source who had told us directly that bin Laden was living in that compound, I still wouldn't be above 60 percent. And I'm telling you, the case for WMDs wasn't just stronger, it was much stronger." Michael Morell, Deputy Director of the CIA, March 2011. "THE FINISH: "It's a go. We're going to do the raid. Prepare the directives." - President Obama, April 29, 2011. - from the rear outer jacket. "From Mark Bowden, author of the multimillion copy bestseller Black Hawk Down, and the preeminent chronicler of our military and special forces, comes The Finish, a gripping account of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. With unprecedented access to key sources, including President Obama, Bowden takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and on the ground where the action unfolded. On October 7, 2001, less than a month after the devastating attacks of 9/11, the United States invaded Afghanistan. They thought they had bin Laden cornered in Tora Bora, but then he vanished, and the trail went cold. Over the next ten years, as Bowden shows, America found itself fighting a new kind of war against the scattered forces of al Qaeda, one which demanded a new approach. Step-by-step, Bowden describes the development of a tactical strategy to fight this war - a fusion of intel from various agencies and on-the-ground special ops in a six-step plan called "F3EAD" (Find, Fix, Finish, Exploit, Analyze, Disseminate). An essential part of the new strategy was an initiative called "Terrorism Information Awareness," the creation of a giant database that would collate information of any kind - names, numbers, photos, broadcasts, rumors, interrogation transcripts - data which could be analyzed by the Pentagon's supercomputers in order to track down terrorists." - excerpt from the inner front jacket flap.
