Has a note about this book, Prologue: A Comfortable Retirement; Bibliography, Notes, Acknowledgments, and an Index. Chapters cover 9/11 and After; Tora Bora; Al-Qaeda in the Wilderness; The Resurgence of Al-Qaeda; A Working Theory of the Case; Closing In on the Courier; Obama at War; Anatomy of a Lead; The Last Years of Osama bin Laden; The Secret Warriors; Curses of Actin; The Decision; Don't Turn On the Light; Aftermath; and Epilogue: The Twilight of Al-Qaeda. Contains riveting new details of bin Laden's flight to Tora Bora, where American forces came close to capturing him, and of the fugitive leader's attempts to find a secure hiding place. As the only journalist to gain access to bin Laden's Abbottabad compound before the Pakistani government demolished it, Bergen paints a vivid picture of bin Laden's life in hiding and his struggle to maintain control of al-Quaeda even as America systematically picked off his lieutenants. Based on exhaustive research and unprecedented access to White House officials, CIA analysts, Pakistani intelligence, and the military, this is the definitive account of ten years in pursuit of bin Laden.

Signed by the author on the title page. Cherie, Lady Blair, CBE, KC (née Booth; born 23 September 1954), also known professionally as Cherie Booth, is an English barrister and writer. She is married to former British Prime Minister, Sir Tony Blair. She was a founding member of Matrix Chambers in London but no longer practices there. Matrix was formed in 2000 specializing in human rights law, though members also practice in a range of areas of UK public and private law, the Law of the European Union and European Convention on Human Rights, in addition to public international law. She is Founder and chair of law firm Omnia Strategy LLP. She specializes in employment, discrimination, as well as public law; in this capacity, she has occasionally represented claimants taking cases against the UK Government. Blair was the third Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 1999 to 2006. Blair has described herself as a socialist and, at times, has appeared to have views further to the left than those of her husband. Blair wrote a book of her memoirs, published in late May 2008, entitled Speaking for Myself: The Autobiography, and the book was listed as a Sunday Times best-seller. Interviewed by Carole MacNeil on the Canadian network CBC Television on 1 June 2008, Blair stated that she felt most of the controversy about her in the British media was due to her pioneering role as the first wife of a British prime minister who had her own career, with the media simply not knowing how to treat her fairly and objectively.

Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953) is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007. After his resignation, he was appointed Special Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East, an office which he held until 2015. He was elected Member of Parliament for Sedgefield in 1983. He supported moving the party to the centre of British politics in an attempt to help it win power. He became Shadow Home Secretary in 1992. He became Leader of the Opposition on his election as Labour Party leader in 1994. He declared support for the Third Way—politics that recognized individuals as socially interdependent, advocating social justice, cohesion, the equal worth of each citizen, and equal opportunity. In 1997, the Labour Party won its largest landslide general election victory in its history. Blair became the country's youngest leader since 1812 and remains the party's longest-serving occupant of the office. Labour won two more general elections under his leadership—in 2001, in which it won another landslide victory, and in 2005, with a greatly reduced majority. He resigned as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party in 2007. He was involved in negotiating the Good Friday Agreement. Blair oversaw British interventions in Kosovo and Sierra Leone which were generally perceived as successful. He was in office when the 7/7 bombings took place (2005) and introduced a range of anti-terror legislation. More
