For more than half a century, Special Forces and CIA legend Billy Waugh dedicated his life to tracking down and eliminating America's most virulent enemies. Operating from the darkest shadows and most desolate corners of the world, he made his mark in many of the most important operations in the annals of US Spec Ops. He spent seven and a half years behind enemy lines in Vietnam as a member of a covert group of elite commandos. He trailed Osama Bin Laden in Khartoum in the early '90s and would have killed the terrorist kingpin if his superiors had allowed it. And at the age of 72, he marched through the frozen high plains of Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Hunting the Jackal is the astonishing true account of the singular career of a courageous soldier in his nation's shadow wars - including his pivotal role in the previously untold story of the capture of the most infamous and elusive assassin in history, Carlos the Jackal.

Billy Waugh the bona-fide real deal. Told as if sitting around the camp fire with a real person who's been there and done that and doesn't care what you think about it.

There are some in these reviews that doubt Billy Waughs story.
There is sufficient evidence contained in the SOGCast episodes and in the book; Surprise, Kill, Vanish. to support his claims. He is also referred to by name in at least two of the SOGCast episodes.
The book is more of a story around his life than the events hunting the Jackal. Then again the events in his life made him the man he was during the hunt.
Still a great book.

God broke the mold after Mr. Waugh was born. He was a great player of the grand chess game of wits and war.

Wow! A man at many intersections of history.
