Praise for The Hunt for Bin Laden
"A great blend of action, tactics, background, and people. . . The author of The Green Berets has told as much of the story as can be told. . . . This is uncensored war, where Special Forces is fully allowed to be Special Forces."
--Fayetteville Observer
"Robin Moore knows how to give the bad guys what for. He did it with The Green Berets in 1965 and in The French Connection in 1970, and now he's back again. . . fast-paced and immensely entertaining."
--The Washington Post Book World
"Buy this book!"
--Don Imus
"Moore was one of the few non-military individuals given access to America's secret warriors as they fought Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. . . Many of the American fighters there had read his most famous book, and some of them-or their fathers-knew of Moore from his days in Vietnam."
--The Boston Phoenix
"A gripping chronicle."
--The Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Robin Moore knows how to give the bad guys what for. He did it with The Green Berets in 1965 and in The French Connection in 1970, and now he's back again with a cast of inevitable square-jawed, flinty-eyed Special Forces troops overcoming double-dealing warlords and feckless bureaucrats to annihilate evil doers in the godforsaken mountains and valleys of Afghanistan...fast-paced and immensely entertaining." --Washington Post Book World on The Hunt for Bin Laden
