About This Item
New York: Random House, 2003. Pp. xii+374(last blank), 16 plates, occasional text maps, glossary, bibliography, appendix, index; med. 8vo; black papered boards, spine lettered in gilt; dust wrapper; Random House, New York, 2003. Fifth impression. *According to Pelton in Licensed to Kill much of The Hunt for Bin Laden is a fabrication largely engendered by Keith lquote Jack' Idema who assisted as a contributor to the latter but is not acknowledged. The Hunt for Bin Laden is the result of interviews with exfiltrated ex-special forces private security operators and much apparently written by Idema according to Pelton, who regards the book as lquote fictional nonfiction (p.243, Licensed to Kill). Following its release Moore received numerous communications pointing out the fabrications and inaccuracies.
Synopsis
In January 1964, Robin Moore went to Vietnam. He had attended Jump School at Fort Benning—with the special approval of President John F. Kennedy—and was the first and only civilian ever allowed to go through the grueling Special Forces qualification course at Fort Bragg. The result was The Green Berets, a bestselling book about a unique and remarkable group of fighting men. Robin Moore then went on to write three more books about the war in Vietnam. He has also written several novels, including The French Connection ; a book about terrorists in South Africa; and an exposé of the smuggling of nuclear arms from Russia after the Communist era.
