KBL: Kill Bin Laden LP: A Novel Based on True Events

by John Weisman

Kill Bin Laden probes the hearts and minds of America’s secret warriors, revealing what the job means to them, and the toll it takes. In this riveting novel drawn from actual events and based on real-life heroes, John Weisman brings to life the drama behind the hunt and SEAL Team 6’s breathtaking raid in which Bin Laden—the grail for counterterrorists for more than a decade—met his fate. Filled with pulse-pounding excitement and the tactics, intelligence tradecraft, and operational sources and methods used in real-world CIA and special operation missions, Kill Bin Laden is a thrill-a-minute dramatization that sets the standard for adventure novels as it brilliantly imagines the action, intrigue, and suspense of this real-life event, and offers a glimpse of the new face of warfare.
