Add a CommentI was expecting more from author Mark Bowden and I agree with the previous reader's comments. I hope this is the last book written about the end of that coward born with a silver spoon in his mouth sending uneducated young men from the Muslim world into Iraq and Afghanistan for a quick meaningless death just to further Al Queda's primitive goals while Osama hid out watching his stash of porno movies found in his hideout. I don't understand how Al Queda can be comfortable killing considerably more innocent Muslims compared to coalition soldiers in their strategy. A real dedicated Muslim who used his 15 year old latest Wife as a human shield against the Seals. - Ya right.
While reading this one, I got the feeling that there is probably another more definitive book out there on the hunt and killing of bin Laden. MANHUNT had the feel of needing to be the first in the marketplace. THE FINISH provided more detail - but some things were just dropped in with little background. This is not bad, just not the definitive work.
