Spectacular Advance Praise for Jawbreaker
"The hunt for Osama bin Laden is the story of courageous CIA
officers, like Gary Berntsen, repeatedly finding him and U.S.
political and military leaders refusing to kill him. Berntsen's
excellent book "Jawbreaker"--which CIA leaders tried to suppress to
protect America's bipartisan political elite and its military
sycophants--precisely describes the eleventh such opportunity since
1998, and again shows that uniformed bureaucrats masquerading as
U.S. generals let him escape from Tora Bora rather than risk the
lives of U.S. soldiers. Read this heartbreaking book, keep it safe,
and reread it after al-Qaeda detonates a nuclear device in America.
You will then know who signed the death warrant for tens of
thousands of your countrymen." --Michael Scheuer, bestselling
author of "Imperial Hubris" and "Through Our Enemies' Eyes"
""Jawbreaker" is a real page turner . . . Berntsen was the CIA's
'go to guy' when it came to leading in Afghanistan, owing to his
exceptional operational and leadership skills in situations
involving the threat of immediate danger. Berntsen is brave and
bold and a true American hero." --Cofer Black, former Chief of the
Central Intelligence Agency's Counterterrorism Center "The Afghan
campaign of 2001 was the CIA's finest hour. "Jawbreaker" is the
story of that victory and of the handful of clandestine service
officers who organized one of the swiftest, most economical and
most decisive military operations in history. "Jawbreaker" is both
a thrilling read and a timely reminder of why America needs a
clandestine service, and what we owe to those who serve in it."
--James Dobbins, Director of International Security andDefense
Policy, Rand Corporation; Former U.S. Special Envoy to Afghanistan
