review 1: Summary: This book tells a story of how the US government tracked down and killed Osama Bin Laden.This is a novel about a CIA spy who is undercover in Pakistan, looking for information about Osama Bin Laden. This spys name is Charlie Becker (this is not the real spys name, the author trys to protect the identities of the real people involved.) Charlie Becker was a former US Army Ranger who lost his legs in Iraq, and then learned Pashto the Pakistani language to help himself to become a spy. By scouting out and watching the villa where he assumed Osama Bin Laden hid, he found enough information to prove he was there and living there. With this information the US Navy SEALs led and attack on this compound finding and killing Bin Laden. This is the story by the author ... moreabout how we found and killed Bin Laden. I gave this book 3 stars because is was very poorly written by the author and never had any intense parts. I gave it 3 stars also becuase I liked the topic and learning about what really happened. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books that get into great detail and make you think, and also like military books.
review 2: I don't know how much of this is fiction and how much is based on the facts surrounding the asassination of Usama Bin Laden. It is well written and some of the names are real and others are fictional, but relatively easy to know who in real like they are. The detail is excellent and, if it really is based on the facts, very intriguing as to how they found UBL and how the training for the event was accomplished and the actual take down. Enjoyed the book and would recommend it. less
