| 1 | Kill Bin Laden | 2008 | Dalton Fury | Buy |
Dalton Fury’s non-fiction output centers on Kill Bin Laden, his 2008 account of the Battle of Tora Bora. As the Delta Force ground commander during the December 2001 operation, Fury had a front-row seat to one of the most important military engagements of the early War on Terror. The book details how his small team of operators tracked Osama bin Laden into the cave complexes of eastern Afghanistan.
Kill Bin Laden became a bestseller and was praised for its honest look at the realities of special operations combat. Fury does not shy away from describing the command decisions and logistical failures that he believes allowed bin Laden to escape into Pakistan. The book remains an important primary source for anyone interested in the early days of the Afghanistan conflict and the hunt for al-Qaeda leadership.
