An extraordinary look inside Special Operations Forces at the team level. Based on three decades of dogged, accurate and mature reporting, Weisman has developed credibility inside the secret community of special ops. This book ties together the strands of detective work, spy craft and commando skills., Mr. Weisman's research is thorough, and there is no shortage of CIA and military lore woven into KBL's pages . . . he brings them all together in a narrative so real that readers will quickly forget that it is fiction., We will probably never get the full, true account of how Osama bin Laden was found and killed in Pakistan. Mr. Weisman's novelization of the mission is the next best thing., A stunner and a riveting read. KBL is rife with realism and a true-to-life portrayal of hard-core warriors, their ethos and their world., John Weisman has done it again! KBL is the latest of his books that probe beneath the facts of world-changing events to expose the deeper meanings and truths and lay bare the raw passions of people who throw themselves into such situations., “This book is very believable and well-developed with clear and concise details . . . What a reader will take away from this novel is an increased appreciation for the job that intelligence and Special Forces do: their passion, diligence, perseverance, and grit.�, Impressively detailed and imagined, Weisman's fictional account of the hunt for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden will resonate . . . in this fast-paced narrative, ' KBL is an amazing tour de force. This is as close as you will get to the pulse-pounding, incredibly daring mission to find and Kill Bin Laden.' (Joseph Wambaugh), A book worth reading, not to mention adding to the home, school, and public libraries in every town and city in America. If you want to learn how the brave men and women of our special forces and intelligence agencies really do business . . . pick up a copy., Whether you call it a novel or a fictional narrative, as Weisman says, 'based on true events,' the story . . . stands as one of the most compelling and interesting for news-minded Americans., “A book worth reading, not to mention adding to the home, school, and public libraries in every town and city in America. If you want to learn how the brave men and women of our special forces and intelligence agencies really do business . . . pick up a copy.�, Absolutely gripping. KBL: Kill Bin Laden describes a true story that can only be told in fiction. It also enthrallingly shows how SEALs are the future of warfare in the 21st century., There are only a few authors who are able to climb inside the culture, mindset, and passions of the people who conduct covert and special operations. SOAR reveals why John Weisman is the best in the business in writing about it., This book is very believable and well-developed with clear and concise details . . . What a reader will take away from this novel is an increased appreciation for the job that intelligence and Special Forces do: their passion, diligence, perseverance, and grit., This is a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand the meticulous planning and preparation that must go into carrying out a raid to kill the most wanted terrorist in the world, Usama Bin Laden, and the unselfish dedication that drives our 'special warriors.', With keen insight into both the tactical and political measures at stake in this momentous strike, Weisman has penned an account that, though technically a work of fiction, resonates with credibility., KBL is a riveting and detailed chronology of the events leading up to Bin Laden's death. Readers will wonder if Weisman had insider knowledge of the plans and ongoing access to their implementation., Weisman's research is excellent, and he clearly has expert sources. He's adept at explaining the complex structure of the special operations units . . . As a former MI6 agent who's used to reading inaccuracies in thrillers, I was delighted to note that every chapter here feels right., 'With keen insight into both the tactical and political measures at stake in this momentous strike, Weisman has penned an account that, though technically a work of fiction, resonates with credibility.' (Iron Mountain Daily News), John Weisman has written an intriguing tale. Try guessing where fiction ends in KBL and fact takes over., “Whether you call it a novel or a fictional narrative, as Weisman says, ‘based on true events,’ the story . . . stands as one of the most compelling and interesting for news-minded Americans.�, KBL is an amazing tour de force. This is as close as you will get to the pulse-pounding, incredibly daring mission to find and Kill Bin Laden.
