Yes, I enjoyed it. The only comprehensive look at the successful campaign to overthrow the Talib, and the unsuccessful one to nail Osama. Perhaps a little dated now, since there are other efforts out there about that time period, specifically the one by Schoen and the one awaiting approval by the CIA, by Bernsten.

Some other reads that were useful:

AQ's Great Escape - Christopher Smucker

The Interrogators - Greg Mackey (Macky)

I also read SAAG.ORG for some, IMO, great backgrounders and updates on Pakistan and Jihad in general. Raman's archived articles are priceless.

I agree with you about B. Raman. He is one of the best, if not the best.

Musharraf cannot be trusted. Vajpayee learned the hard way during Kargil. (But you know this already.)
