"The best-selling author of Black Hawk Down tells the story of the hunt for Osama bin Laden, based on extensive reporting, analysis, and interviews with President Obama, his national security staff, former SEALs, CIA officers, and others who can not be named. THE TARGET: "It is proven that the American technology and its modern systems cannot arrest a mujahid if he does not commit a security error that leads them to him. So adherence to securing precautions makes their advanced technology a loss and a disappointment to them." - Osama Bin Laden, in an unsent letter to al Qaeda Number Three, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, written five days before Osama's death and discovered in the Abbottabad compound. THE FIRST INKLING: "Mr President, Leon and the guys at Langley think they may have come up with something. Something related to bin Laden, we don't know yet what this is, but I think you need to have them in here for a briefing." - Thomas Donilon, Deputy National Security Adviser, August 2010. THE TIP-OFF: "I'm with the same ones as before." - Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed (AKA "The Kuwaiti") Osama bin Laden's courier, speaking to a friend on a phone call tapped by the CIA, Abbottabad, Pakistan, June 2010. THE EXPERT OPINION: "This is the best lead we've had on bin Laden since Tora Bora." - "John", Head of the CIA'S Bin Laden Team, June 2010. THE STRATEGY: " A simple plan, carefully concealed, repeatedly and realistically rehearsed, and executed with surprise, speed, and purpose." - Vice Admiral William McRaven, Commander, Joint Special Operations Command, "The Theory of Special Operations". THE RISK: "Mr. President, if we had a human source who had told us directly that bin Laden was living in that compound, I still wouldn't be above 60 percent. And I'm telling you, the case for WMDs wasn't just stronger, it was much stronger." Michael Morell, Deputy Director of the CIA, March 2011. "THE FINISH: "It's a go. We're going to do the raid. Prepare the directives." - President Obama, April 29, 2011. - from the rear outer jacket. "From Mark Bowden, author of the multimillion copy bestseller Black Hawk Down, and the preeminent chronicler of our military and special forces, comes The Finish, a gripping account of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. With unprecedented access to key sources, including President Obama, Bowden takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and on the ground where the action unfolded. On October 7, 2001, less than a month after the devastating attacks of 9/11, the United States invaded Afghanistan. They thought they had bin Laden cornered in Tora Bora, but then he vanished, and the trail went cold. Over the next ten years, as Bowden shows, America found itself fighting a new kind of war against the scattered forces of al Qaeda, one which demanded a new approach. Step-by-step, Bowden describes the development of a tactical strategy to fight this war - a fusion of intel from various agencies and on-the-ground special ops in a six-step plan called "F3EAD" (Find, Fix, Finish, Exploit, Analyze, Disseminate). An essential part of the new strategy was an initiative called "Terrorism Information Awareness," the creation of a giant database that would collate information of any kind - names, numbers, photos, broadcasts, rumors, interrogation transcripts - data which could be analyzed by the Pentagon's supercomputers in order to track down terrorists." - excerpt from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition black boards, black spine and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Stephen E. Ambrose; Author Dedication; Introduction; Sources and Index. Illustrated with three sections of black-and-white photographic plates plus a section of maps. "From America's preeminent military historian, Stephen E. Ambrose, comes a brilliant telling of the war in Europe, from D-Day, June 6, 1944, to the end, eleven months later, on May 7, 1945. This authoritative narrative accont is drawn by the author himself from his five acclaimed books about that conflict, most particularly from the definitive and comprehensive D-Day and from Citizen Soldiers, about which the great Civil War historian James McPherson wrote: "If there is a better book about the experience of GIs who foungt in Europe during World War II, I have not read it. Citizen Soldiers captures the fear and exhilaration of combat, the hunger and cold and filth of the foxholes, the small, intense world of the individual rifleman as well as the big picture of the European theater in a manner that grips the reader and will not let him go. No one who has not been there can understand what combat is like but Stephen Ambrose brings us closer to an understanding than any other historian has done." The Victors also includes stories of individual battles, raids, acts of courage, and suffering from Pegasus Bridge, an account of the first engagement of D-Day, when a detachment of British airborne troops stormed the German defense forces and paved the way for the Allied invasion; and from Band of Brothers, an account of an American rifle company from the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment who fought, died, and conquered, from Utah Beach through the Bulge and on to Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Germany. Stephen Ambrose is also the author of Eisenhower, the greatest work on Dwight Eisenhower, and one of the editors of the Supreme Allied Commander's papers. He describes the momentous decisions about how and where the war was fought, and the strategies and conduct of the generals and officers who led the invasion and the bloody drive across Europe to Berlin. But it is, as always with Stephen Ambrose, the ranks, the ordinary boys and men, who command his attention and his awe. The Victors tells their stories, how citizens became soldiers in the best army in the world. Ambrose draws on thousands of interviews and oral histories from government and private archives, from the high command - Eisenhower, Bradley, Patton - on down through officers and enlisted men, to re-create the last year of the Second World War, when the Allied soldiers pushed the Germans out of France, chased them across Germany, and destroyed the Nazi regime." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. First Edition (stated). xii, 306, [2] pages. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Signed by both co-authors on the Half-title page. Includes Acknowledgments and Cast of Characters (in the Capitol police department; In the office of the Architect of the Capitol; In the Senate; in the House of Representatives, and in the Government of the District of Columbia). Written with the unique insider's perspective that only a United States senator could give to it, Murder in the Senate races to an unforgettable climax in the Capitol's most hidden places. More than a thrilling mystery, it is a revealing look into the hard-fought and sometimes ruthless way the game of politics is played at the highest levels of American Government. William Sebastian Cohen (born August 28, 1940) is an American politician, lawyer and author from the U.S. state of Maine. A Republican, Cohen served as both a member of the United States House of Representatives (1973-1979) and Senate (1979-1997), and as Secretary of Defense (1997-2001) under Democratic President Bill Clinton. Described as "a Republican moderate from Maine, something of a maverick centrist" by David Halberstam, Cohen had very good working relations with President Clinton and National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and "almost ideal" collaboration with the Joint Chiefs of Staff; however, he often clashed with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, whom he saw as "a grandstander, too outspoken on policy matters and too eager to use military force." Cohen has written several books, including mysteries (Murder in the Senate), poetry, and (with George Mitchell) an analysis of the Iran-contra affair. Thomas Benton Allen (March 20, 1929 - December 11, 2018) was an American author and historian. Allen was a contributing editor to National Geographic. Allen had co-authored numerous books with Norman Polmar. He had also written numerous mystery novels. Derived from a Kirkus review: The chief of the Capitol Police runs afoul of local and Louisiana politics as he tries to solve a series of brutal murders. The victims are women, the stakes are in the zillions, and the authors know Washington from the sub-basement up. Glamorous and possibly rotten Senator Julia Bristow, who inherited her office from her recently drowned husband, holds the deciding vote in the battle for statehood for the District of Columbia until her pretty, behatted corpse is discovered on the senatorial subway. Capitol Police chief and former FBI agent Jeffrey Fitzgerald gets orders from the majority leader to clear things up pronto and without help from the FBI. Fitzgerald gets excellent assistance from his most attractive lieutenant, Alexandra Phelan, but clues are slow in coming to light; and before much progress is made, there's a second murder. The victim this time is a black woman who had been in the forefront of the statehood movement, and the modus operandi is precisely that used on Bristow. Aside from the straightforward detecting, Fitzgerald and Phelan must do battle with the creepy Capitol Architect, an unknown traitor on the Capitol Police force, the rotten mayor of the District, and the crypto-fascist congressman who moved into Bristow's seat rather too quickly. They get help from Fitzgerald's psychic landlady, a right-minded FBI administrator, and the crusty District medical examiner. They get relief from each other. A nicely brisk pace, authentically creepy politicians, and clever use of the Capitol itself keep things interesting. John Kelmmer (Author photograph) (illustratore).…
