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.

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
