In seinem wichtigsten Buch seit „Black Hawk Down“ schildert Mark Bowden, der Meister der investigativen Recherche, auf atemberaubende Weise die zehnjährige Jagd auf Osama bin Laden – und enthüllt dabei, wie Barack Obama zum kompromisslosen Krieger im Weißen Haus wurde. Durch seinen einzigartigen Zugang zu höchsten Vertretern der US-Regierung und der Sicherheitsbehörden und auf der Grundlage bisher unbekannter Quellen schildert Bowden Amerikas Kampf gegen den Terror als Duell zweier Männer: dem Terrorfürst Bin Laden, der in seinem pakistanischen Versteck in eine zunehmend verzweifelte Lage gerät, und dem Präsidenten, der seine Chance wittert, im Krieg gegen den Terror die entscheidende Schlacht zu gewinnen. Eine brillant geschriebene Enthüllungsreportage – und ein Politthriller ersten Ranges.

Finding Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, was a top priority for the U.S. military, even more so than capturing Osama bin Laden. Brutal tactics were employed to extract intelligence from Zarqawi's associates, but these efforts yielded no results. Following the Abu Ghraib scandal, the military introduced a new approach to interrogation. Matthew Alexander, a former criminal investigator leading a specialized team, provides an insider's view of this shift toward more humane interrogation techniques and their remarkable success. The intelligence that led to the June 7, 2006, airstrike on Zarqawi's safe house stemmed from well-planned interrogations that avoided torture and coercive methods. Instead, Matthew and his team focused on understanding their subjects: their motivations, affiliations, and what they sought to protect. Each day, they engaged with a diverse array of suspects, from egomaniacs to horrified clerics, using negotiation and psychological tactics to great effect. However, Matthew's dedication to these methods sometimes put him at odds with his superiors and jeopardized his career. This gripping narrative transcends a typical war memoir, serving as a reminder that we need not adopt our enemy's methods to defeat them. Matthew's adaptive strategies have proven to be vital in the fight against global terrorism.

Based on reporting that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Thunder Run chronicles one of the boldest gambles in modern military history. Three battalions and fewer than a thousand men launched a violent thrust of tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles into the heart of a city of 5 million people and in three days of bloody combat ended the Iraqi war. Thunder Run is the story of the surprise assault on Baghdad—one of the most decisive battles in American combat history—by the Spartan Brigade, the Second Brigade of the Third Infantry Division (Mechanized). More than just a rendering of a single battle, Thunder Run candidly recounts how soldiers respond under fire and stress and how human frailties are magnified in a war zone. The product of over a hundred interviews with commanders and men from the Second Brigade, Thunder Run is a riveting firsthand account of how a single armored brigade was able to capture an Arab capital defended by one of the world's largest armies.

Prawdziwa historia budowania potęgi i spektakularnego upadku najsłynniejszego barona narkotykowego na świecie. Pablo Escobar – jeden z najbogatszych kryminalistów w historii. U szczytu potęgi kontrolował 80% światowego rynku kokainy, dyktując warunki kolumbijskiej władzy i grając na nosie Stanom Zjednoczonym. Rozpętał terror zamachów i krwawą wojnę narkotykową. Jego sława wykroczyła daleko poza granice obu Ameryk. Bezwzględność, arogancja i wyrachowanie sprawiły, że imię Escobara do dziś owiane jest legendą, a jego biografia stała się podstawą popularnego serialu Narcos. Mark Bowden, nagradzany dziennikarz i autor słynnego Helikoptera w ogniu, pokazuje, że rzeczywistość może być o wiele bardziej przerażająca niż fikcja. W swoim szczegółowym śledztwie odsłania kulisy wieloletnich zmagań amerykańskich i kolumbijskich władz z „Królem Kokainy”.

Doctor Dealer is the story of Larry Lavin, a bright, charismatic young man who rose from his working-class upbringing to win a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school, earn Ivy League college and dental degrees, and buy his family a house in one of Philadelphia's most exclusive suburbs. But behind the facade of his success was a dark secret -- at every step of the way he was building the foundation for a cocaine empire that would grow to generate over $60 million in annual sales. Award-winning journalist Mark Bowden tells the saga of Lavin's rise and fall with the gripping, novelistic narrative style that won him international acclaim as the author of the New York Times best-seller Black Hawk Down. "Immensely readable . . . eye-popping . . . a smoothly crafted, exciting, can't-put-it-down book." -- Louisville New Voice
