About this listen
The Exile joins Osama bin Laden as he escapes into Pakistan in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, bringing to vivid life the years leading up to his death spent on the run and in exile. It tells the human story, and illuminates the global political workings. It is a tale of evasion, collusion, betrayal and the deep pain of isolation. Staying with a small group of characters throughout, The Exile moves through a series of dramatic set-pieces, from the shocking failure of the Battle of Tora Bora, one of the most significant losses in US strategic history, when, outgunned and outflanked, Osama still managed to give the world's most accomplished trackers the slip, through his covert journey from safe-house to safe-house in Pakistan, to the years spent hiding in the military compound in Abottabad where he was eventually to be killed.
Using the contacts built up through years of research, including wives of key players such as Osama bin Laden and his mastermind, Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the authors have gained extraordinary and intimate insight into Osama bin Laden and those closest to him. Meticulously researched, beautifully written, this is an enthralling and revelatory journey.

Terrific listen
Excellent details, research. Objective, especially given the topic. Given the secrecy, authors must have gone thru lot of trouble to get so much details. Narrated very well.

Excellent read about the Al Qaeda leader's Run
Excellent read & Excellent narration.
The book gives the complete info about the run of Osama from the days of Tora Bora strike to the Abbottabad raid to the creation of the Islamic State. It gives the info about how the Al Qaeda chief maintained contact with the outside world with the age old method of human couriers. Sure the Extreme Interrogation Techniques by the CIA brings out the working of the courier network.
Harbouring of the terrorists is major issue to Iran and Pakistan with the outside world. But the later is still struggling with it's internal terror acts and needs to take hard hand against it.
The fate of Al Qaeda was predicted by Osama on the D-Day of the Planes Operation. But what he missed was that of Global Jihad. It's not the elimination of the person of the organization or it's network, but the ideology of it's working will bring the end. Terrorism ideology can't be kept at large.

An exhilarating and comprehensive coverage
A bit lengthy, but once you start, it feels like a feature film in the secret world of OBL and US security.
