The Triple Agent: The al-Qaeda Mole who Infiltrated the CIA by Joby Warrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book tells the story of the suicide bomber invited into a military facility at Khost that succeeded in making casualties out of many of the Seals and CIA people that were there - more people that were gathered than necessary for a dangerous and basically unsecured meeting. I suspected eagerness more than hubris caused this lapse of reason, and the book bears it out. The drone revenge swath of over 60 Al Qaeda killed was more successful than I had gathered from the news.
There is an epilogue that does a quick overview of the take down of Bin Laden.
