490 0 Chris Wallace's Countdown Series.
520 Following Chris Wallace's "riveting" ( The New York
Times ) and "propulsive" ( Time ) #1 national bestseller
Countdown 1945 comes a deeply reported, revelatory, and
thrillingly told account of the final months of the hunt
for Osama bin Laden. On August 27, 2010, three CIA
officers ask for a private meeting with CIA Director Leon
Panetta. During that secret session, they tell Panetta
that agents have tracked a courier with deep Al Qaeda ties
to a three-story house at the end of a dead end street in
Abbottabad, Pakistan. But they say it's more than a
house—it's a heavily protected fortress. No one in the
meeting says the name bin Laden . They don't have to.
Everyone understands that finally, after nearly a decade,
maybe, just maybe, they've found the world's most wanted
man. In Countdown bin Laden , celebrated journalist and
anchor of Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace delivers a
thrilling new account of the final eight months of
intelligence gathering, national security strategizing,
and meticulous military planning that leads to the
climactic mission when SEAL Team Six closes in on its
target. The book delivers new information collected from
Wallace's in-depth interviews with more than a dozen
central figures, including Admiral William McRaven—leader
of the operation in Pakistan—as well as CIA Director
Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Defense Secretary Robert Gates, National Security Adviser
Tom Donilon, and two members of SEAL Team Six who
participate in the raid, including the Special Operator
who kills Osama bin Laden. Wallace also brings to life
the human elements of this story, talking to families who
lost loved ones on 9/11; sharing what relatives of SEAL
Team Six went through; and bringing us inside the tense
Situation Room during the raid. Published on the
twentieth anniversary of 9/11, Countdown bin Laden is a
historical thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action,
and fresh reporting about the race to apprehend and bring
to justice the architect of the most consequential
terrorist attack in American history.
