Chasing bin Laden: My Hunt for the World's Most Notorious Terrorist

By Barbara K. Janik

Book Overview

A secret truth: On the early morning of August 16, 2006, Osama bin Laden was arrested in Brooklyn by the New York FBI Terrorism Task Force. They were acting on a tip called in by Barbara Janik. Her memoir, Chasing bin Laden, takes readers along with her on an emotional journey through the hidden world of lay investigations, which is charged with high-stakes puzzle solving, Arabic message boards, and anxiety-provoking collaborations with the FBI.

In The Killing of Osama bin Laden, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Seymour Hersh stated that "bin Laden had been a prisoner of the ISI [Pakistani intelligence] at the Abbottabad compound since 2006..." This book tells the story of how, when, and where he was arrested.

Janik, who is a masters-level historian, cleverly integrates 177 citations through the manuscript that help corroborate this hidden history.
