The Hunt for Osama Bin Laden (Hardcover, Library binding)

The United States launched an international war on terrorism in response to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As a result, young people are bombarded with images of Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, battles taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan, and prisoners of war held in Guantanamo Bay. Using related images set in a magazine-like design, this series examines a number of developing events related to the war on terrorism, reflecting the latest, most up-to-date information available. With lively, straightforward writing and dramatic images from the front, these books offer a gripping narrative to complement and enhance today's headlines. Almost as soon as the dust cleared from the horrific attacks on September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden was named the prime suspect in the planning of these and many other terrorist atrocities. This well-written and fast-paced book tracks the progress of the United States government as it engages in one of the most intensive manhunts ever undertaken. Stunning and provocative photos, diagrams, maps, and cartoons give the reader a realistic look at what the teams of special operations forces employ in their effort to succeed. An in-depth look at one of the most important manhunts in history.
