About this ebook

“Weisman is perhaps wired more tightly into the reclusive special operations community than any other writer, and his knowledge of weaponry and field techniques is staggering.”
Washington Times

“A pro who knows his stuff.”
—Oliver North

John Weisman, whose expertise in the field of covert military operations is unsurpassed, delivers a stunning fictional account of the most extraordinary mission of the century: the hunting down and assassination of Osama Bin Laden, the most reviled killer of the twenty-first century, by US Navy SEALs. With KBL: Kill Bin Laden the critically acclaimed author of SOAR and Jack in the Box goes behind the headlines, carrying readers along on a breakneck, breathtakingly realistic chase—from planning to training to execution—as the evil mastermind behind the horror of 9/11 is finally brought to justice.

I just spent the best six hours on the couch in my man jammies, reading KBL (Kill Bin Laden) by John Weisman. It's awesome! I know alot of it was fiction but the truth is stranger than fiction sometimes and armed with the bare essentials of the facts, John has done a kick butt job weaving a very believable story, giving great credit to the CIA and the buildup to the raid. I found myself mesmerized by the retired Special Forces double amputee soldier on the ground for months before the raid, undercover as a wounded beggar. If you guys get a copy of this book it will be a fast read. I'll write something up and post it soon. Two thumbs up for sure!! Semper Fi, Taco
