Countdown bin Laden by Chris Wallace Book Summary

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER * INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Following Chris Wallace’s “riveting” (The New York Times) and “propulsive” (Time) first book Countdown 1945 comes a deeply reported, revelatory, and thrillingly told account of the final months of the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

On August 27, 2010, three CIA officers ask for a private meeting with CIA Director Leon Panetta. During that secret session, they tell Panetta that agents have tracked a courier with deep Al Qaeda ties to a three-story house at the end of a dead-end street in Abbottabad, Pakistan. But they say it’s more than a house—it’s a heavily protected fortress. No one in the meeting says the name bin Laden. They don’t have to. Everyone understands that finally, after nearly a decade, maybe, just maybe, they’ve found the world’s most wanted man.

In Countdown bin Laden, celebrated journalist and CNN anchor and Max host Chris Wallace delivers a vivid account of the final eight months of intelligence gathering, national security strategizing, and meticulous military planning that leads to the climactic mission when SEAL Team Six closes in on its target.

The book delivers new information collected from Wallace’s in-depth interviews with more than a dozen central figures, including Admiral William H. McRaven—leader of the operation in Pakistan—as well as CIA Director Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, and the SEAL Team Six special operator who kills Osama bin Laden. Wallace also brings to life the human elements of this story, talking to families who lost loved ones on 9/11, sharing what relatives of SEAL Team Six went through, and bringing us inside the tense Situation Room during the raid.

Countdown bin Laden is a historical thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting about the race to apprehend and bring to justice the mastermind of the most consequential terrorist attack in American history.

Countdown bin laden. Best book I’ve read in years! Could not put it down. Thanks Dr. James roy appleton jr.

Wallace’s Countdown. Well written, very engaging. I just can’t stand the subtle, and not so subtle, political jabs and rhetoric (very leftist) and omissions of how both sides of political thinking contributed to this great event in US history. If you weren’t astute as to what really occurred, you’d think anyone right of liberal didn’t contribute anything related to the war on terrorism and actually failed our country, and that any left-leaning human made every decision and action with virtual perfection, which is simply false and an example of poor journalism (maybe journalism wasn’t Wallace’s intent). Growing up I always thought Wallace was a great reporter/journalist - centrist, fair, balanced. Now I don’t know what to think of him.

Very well researched. A story well told

Interesting read. The details of the hunt and operation that we’re allowed to know are interesting and enlightening. The limitations of our intelligence capabilities are somewhat surprising, at least as far as we’re so told. Bin Laden was smart enough to never raise his head to the sky so our surveillance could positively ID him. And, hiding in plain site in a location anyone would least expect.

Countdown to bin laden. Wow. Amazing read. You cant put it down. Will make a great film
