Synopsis

"As the [al-Qaida terrorists] charged one wall, three Green Berets leaned over the parapets, oblivious to the enemy small-arms fire that was cracking by their heads and shoulders. 'Focus, squeeze, focus, squeeze,' they recited quietly. . . . Each time . . . the lifeless body of an al-Qaida terrorist would snap back through the desert air and drop onto the sandy courtyard."

The war in Afghanistan was the one of the most secret conflicts in recent history; thousands of journalists covered it, yet, ironically, little is known about how it was waged or what really happened - until now. Task Force Dagger: the Hunt for Bin Laden plunges the reader into America's War on Terror, from the first top-secret meetings of the Task Force in Tampa on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, through to the liberation of Kabul sixty-two days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground.

This is the story of how only a few hundred men, operating from a secret Special Forces base, changed the course of history in Central Asia and destroyed a hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than ninety days. For this British edition, the author, Robin Moore, has added a unique account of the SAS's major contribution to this extraordinary campaign.
