Osama Bin Laden may very well be the most famous criminal in recent history as tragic the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, which cost the lives of more than 3000 people, were claimed by him. Ever since that dark day, the American Government and its people have vowed revenge and set out on a search to eradicate the terrorist.
Peter Bergen, American author who had actually once interviewed Osama Bin Laden, wrote a book titled Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden in which he extensively covers the man’s life from the 9/11 attacks to the moment where he was found in a cave in Abbottabad.
While most of the hunt may not have been covered by the news, the reality is that it was quite a frantic experience for CIA and other intelligence services as they tried to gather and analyze every possible clue to find the man responsible for the attack on the Twin Towers.
Unfortunately in this case, the Middle East happens to be far less bureaucratic and finding Bin Laden in among the thousands upon thousands of caves and underground bunkers was a nearly impossible task.It took them nearly ten years to find his hiding place and finally bring him down.

Peter L. Bergen doesn’t just research past information to make up his book. He went as far as get the accounts from actual members involved in the investigation in an attempt to properly recreate what exactly was happening and how it the situation was being handled. All in all, this may be the definitive account of how the decade-long hunt for Osama Bin Laden actually went down.
