Review
"A fast and furious read...when the historians try to put together the real facts of the two wars the U. S. has fought since September 11, 2001, this book will be a valuable contribution to their research."-Doris Kearns Godwin
"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
