Présentation de l'éditeur :
On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the town of Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in Washington, D.C.: 'Geronimo, Echo, KIA'. These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror.
This is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Six. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the historic raid and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive boots-on-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission - both inside the building and outside.
Pfarrer takes readers inside the operation as the SEALs flew over the wall of Bin Laden's shabby compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper into the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us to the exact spot where the al-Qaeda leader was cowering when the bullet entered his head. SEAL Target Geronimo is an explosive story of unparalleled valour, clockwork military precision, and deadly accuracy carried out by one of the most elite fighting forces in the world - the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 352 pages. SEAL TARGET GERONIMO is the inside account of the Bin Laden Mission, told by the men who were there to the only aut hor they trusted, a former SEAL commander. On May 2, 2011, at 1 :03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the town o f Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in Washington, D.C.: ''Geronimo, Echo, KIA''. These words, spoke n by a Navy SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror. This is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Si x. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid , Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the historic ra id and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive boots -on-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission both inside the building and outside. Pfarrer takes rea ders inside the operation as the SEALs flew over the wall of Bin Laden's shabby compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper int o the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us to the exact spot where the al-Qaeda leader was cowering when th e bullet entered his head. SEAL Target Geronimo is an explosive s tory of unparalleled valour, clockwork military precision, and de adly accuracy carried out by one of the most elite fighting force s in the world the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six. Editorial Reviews Review ''Pfarrer certainly had access. A SEAL Team Six assault-e lement commander in the 1980s, he is known inside the intelligenc e community for his well-regarded first book, Warrior Soul.He c learly had detailed conversations with senior officers in the SEA Ls' chain of command (especially Adm. William McRaven and then SE AL Team Six commander Scott Kerr) and understands the vocabulary and the culture very well.SEAL Target Geronimo explodes a numbe r of media myths about the raid to kill bin Laden.There was no ''45-minute'' running gun battle. The SEAL team fired only 12 bul lets, and the whole operation lasted only 38 minutes.The most p rovocative part of the book is pure speculation: by killing bin L aden, did the SEALs accidentally do Zawahiri s dirty work? As the British Foreign Office used to famously say: 'Interesting, if true'.'' --Richard Miniter, The Daily Beast ''A marvelously eng rossing account of the military operation that resulted in the de ath of Osama bin Laden.Richly told in broad, cinematic strokes, this is catnip for readers who enjoy special-ops tales.'' ----Ki rkus Reviews ''The book is more than just a high-adventure black ops thriller. It is a work of historical importance that sets th e record straight about our struggle against forces dedicated to rebuilding an Islamic caliphate in the Middle East. It is a boo k you will read as you walk on the sidewalk because you do not wa nt the action to stop.'' ----Neil W. McCabe, Human Events About the Author Chuck Pfarrer is a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Six. He has written op-eds for The New York Times and the Knight Ridder syndicate, and appeared as an author and counte r-terrorism expert on C-SPAN2, NPR, Alhurra, IPR, Voice of Americ a, Fox News, and America Tonight. Pfarrer serves presently as an associate editor of The Counter Terrorist, the American Journal o f Counter-terrorism. Pfarrer is the author of the bestseller Warr ior Soul: The Memoir of a Navy SEAL.
