Task Force Dagger : The Hunt for Bin Laden

Task Force Dagger : The Hunt for Bin Laden by Robin Moore. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780330419901.

The war in Afghanistan was one of the most secret conflicts in recent history: thousands of journalists covered it, yet, ironically, little is known about how it was waged or what really happened. "Task Force Dagger" plunges the reader into Americas War on Terror, from the first top-secret meetings of the task force in Tampa on the afternoon of 11 September 2001, through to the liberation of Kabul 62 days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground. This is the story of how only a few hundred men, operating from a secret special forces base, changed the course of history in Central Asia and destroyed a 100,000-man terrorist army in less than 90 days. For this British edition, Robin Moore has added an account of the SASs major contribution to this campaign.
