A chronicle of the CIA’s twenty-year search for Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda operatives, code-named “Alec Station,” Manhunt introduces the dedicated team of research analysts within the mission known as the “Sisterhood.” This intrepid and obsessed group provides in-depth and personal accounts of their methods and the fascinating investigative procedures that ultimately led to the Seal Team Six raid on bin Laden’s compound in May 2011, which was reenacted in Kathryn Bigelow’s film Zero Dark Thirty. Other members of the mission recount their efforts in startling and polarizing detail, from managing informants, working with the FBI, and acquiring information from detainees using “enhanced interrogation techniques.” With remarkable access and suspenseful pacing, Manhunt takes the viewer down the decades-long and labyrinthine road to Abbottabad.  TM
