Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden

Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden

Roughly ten years after Sept. 11, 2001, Americans celebrated the news that the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks had been found and killed during a raid on his home in Pakistan. Now, one year after Osama bin Laden's death, Peter Bergen describes the raid with riveting detail in his fourth book on bin Laden, MANHUNT: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden from 9/11 to Abbottabad.

But the killing of bin Laden is only one element of a decade-long story - Where did he hide after the 9/11 attacks, and how did he evade capture? How did the SEALs prepare for Operation Neptune Spear? Why did President Obama decide to proceed with the raid despite the recommendations of two of his top three advisors that he not do so?

Come hear Peter Bergen discuss bin Laden's life and eventual death, as well as America's decade-long hunt to bring him to justice.
