Praise for:
THE KILLING OF OSAMA BIN LADEN

"I would bet there will be phones ringing at the Pentagon or inside the Beltway once word of this book gets out... if you are looking for a highly informative and thrilling rendition of how the man Hunt for Osama bin Laden unfolded, definitely look no further than this one."

FIVE STARS! This might as well have been the actual first person account of the hunting down and subsequent killing of the Nation's, nay World's, Public Enemy #1. Mark Yoshimoto-Nemcoff's has a very detail oriented and compelling view as to how the final solution went down. It's an excellent read. You will not be able to push the "next page" button fast enough.

FIVE STARS! Mr. Nemcoff weaves a story so real it feels as though you are part of the inner circle who was there with the President. A fitting tribute to all our fallen heroes, our loved ones, and one that permeates to the very fiber of being an American. I highly recommend this to any American who bare witness to that fateful September morning and has been forever touched. Well done Mr. Nemcoff...well done indeed!

FIVE STARS! This is an amazing book that chronicles one of the most cathartic events to happen in a long time. Well worth reading.

FIVE STARS! This is an informative book, especially for the price. The author seemed to have some inside information in areas of the book that was not common TV news. A good book, short and easy to read, about the mission to get Bin Laden.

FIVE STARS! My son lent me this book to read because I wanted to know more about how Osama Bin Laden was killed. This book really details this amazing story and has a lot of details and information I hadn't read or seen in the news or anywhere else. It's a great quick read, well written and it comes off as the kind of thriller you'd see on the big screen.

FIVE STARS! Part detective story. Part spy thriller. Part techno action blockbuster. This story absolutely does reads like a Tom Clancy novel, but true. Packed with details on how it all happened. After reading this book, I feel like I've been debriefed on the op by the Director of the C.I.A. himself! Bravo!

FIVE STARS! Fantastic story. It reads right out of a Clancy novel. The only difference is that it really happened. I really enjoy Mark's writings. This is my fourth book I've read and each contain great stories. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in what happened and how the US finally got Osama Bin Laden.

FIVE STARS! Let me just tell you, I have all of MYN's books, he is a great author and this book is no exception! His writing style is unique and fun, I never use to read books, well I never got threw a book, I was always board and Mark brought a new excitement to reading for me. Everyone show have this book!

FIVE STARS! Another amazing book by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, and the best I've read on the subject so far. "The Killing of Osama Bin Laden" is a must read.

THE KILLING OF OSAMA BIN LADEN

How the Mission to Hunt Down a Terrorist Mastermind was Accomplished

MARK YOSHIMOTO NEMCOFF

MAY 1, 2011

I turned on the TV and saw him there, the boy in the tree. Outward he glanced, his face struck with a sense of jubilation and awe as he and a growing throng by the edge of the fence gazed toward the White House. Men, women and children had come to the home of the President of the United States to wave the flag, be together and feel good about being Americans at a time when lately it seemed like a damn bit too long since there had been reason to celebrate anything.

They had emerged in droves from hotels and townhouses nearby. Several Georgetown students sprinted down Pennsylvania Avenue shouting, U.S.A! U.S.A! In a way, it seemed like Christmas Day and New Years Eve all wrapped up into one.

Osama Bin Laden, the criminal mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands of innocent civilians, the man who epitomized evil in this world, was dead.

There was no way to measure the surprise felt by America on the night of May 1, 2011 other than to look out into the streets and see those faces lit up with glee. I have no doubt the volume of beers being poured in bars and taverns across the country reached a peak not seen since the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team pulled off the Miracle on Ice back in Lake Placid some three decades earlier.

At front and center of the worlds consciousness, for the moment at least, was the sense that we had finally put a big W in the win column for once. Our military expansion across the globe into regions most Americans had never heard of had caused one of the many rifts tearing this country apart. The financial cost of the War on Terror paled in comparison to the loss of all those young American lives. All those bright futures that would never be realized because of a crusade to end the state of fear this country had been plunged into on that dark September morning back in 2001.

For a decade it all seemed for nothing. A waste beyond the imagination. A war for oil. An exercise in futility.

Color coded terror alerts became the norm. Travel became a ridiculous hassle. I can barely remember what it was like to wear shoes through the airport without having to take them off. Extensive pat downs akin to molestation and full body scanning made us feel more violated than safe.

The world had changed so much, so fast; none for the better. We had gone headlong into a downward spiral of Orwellian proportions. If the terrorists aim was to disrupt our lives and resources by plunging our country into a state of perpetual fear then it seemed like the damned terrorists were winning.

However, all of that changed on May 1, 2011 in a little-known garrison town, deep behind the Pakistani borders, and in plain view of the whole world. The manhunt for the criminal who had stolen our safety away from us was now over setting off the collective sigh heard round the world. We had put Osama Bin Laden on the night train to the big adios.
