The Defense Department said no. President Bush said no. In JAWBREAKER, Gary Berntsen, a former CIA analyst who was there, addresses this issue and many other matters regarding the CIA and the war on terror. Berntsen followed the standard procedure for ex-employees who have written books about their experiences: he submitted the manuscript of JAWBREAKER to the agency for vetting prior to publication. As the CIA's key commander coordinating the fight against Taliban forces around Kabul, and the drive toward Tora Bora, Berntsen not only led dozens of CIA and Special Operations Forces, he also raised 2, 000 Afghan fighters to aid in the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Gary Berntsen (born July 23, 1957) is an American former Central Intelligence Agency career officer. During his time at the agency, he served as a Station Chief three times and led several counterterrorism deployments including the United States' response to the East Africa Embassy bombings and the September 11 attacks. He was awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Medal in 2000 and the Intelligence Star in 2004. In August 1998, Berntsen led the response team to the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam. The subsequent investigation led to the capture of around 21 people involved with the planning and execution of the attacks. In Jawbreaker Gary Berntsen, until recently one of the CIA's most decorated officers, comes out from under cover for the first time to describe his no-holds-barred pursuit of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. With his unique mix of clandestine knowledge and paramilitary training, Berntsen represents the new face of counterterrorism. Recognized within the agency for his aggressiveness, Berntsen, when dispatched to Afghanistan, made annihilating the enemy his job description. As the CIA's key commander coordinating the fight against the Taliban forces around Kabul, and the drive toward Tora Bora, Berntsen not only led dozens of CIA and Special Operations Forces, he also raised 2,000 Afghan fighters to aid in the hunt for bin Laden. In this first-person account of that incredible pursuit, which actually began years earlier in an East Africa bombing investigation, Berntsen describes being ferried by rickety helicopter over the towering peaks of Afghanistan, sitting by General Tommy Franks's side as heated negotiations were conducted with Northern Alliance generals, bargaining relentlessly with treacherous Afghan warlords and Taliban traitors, plotting to save hostages about to be used as pawns, calling in B-52 strikes on dug-in enemy units, and deploying a dizzying array of Special Forces teams in the pursuit of the world's most wanted terrorist. Most crucially, Berntsen tells of cornering bin Laden in the Tora Bora mountains-and what happened when Berntsen begged Washington to block the al-Qaeda leader's last avenue of escape. As disturbingly eye-opening as it is adrenaline-charged, Jawbreaker races from CIA war rooms to diplomatic offices to mountaintop redoubts to paint a vivid portrait of a new kind of warfare, showing what can and should be done to deal a death blow to freedom's enemies.
