AWARD HONORED WORK: “Killing Bin Laden”
Since the 9/11 attacks on the United States, the hunt for Osama bin Laden has been central to the battle against terrorism and has played continuously in the background of news coverage on the subject. While we all know the end of the tale, the details of the hunt and bin Laden’s death were not available before this first-hand account and year-long investigation.
