One of the most riveting chapters in Barack Obamas autobiography, A Promised Land, is the last one. Its the story of the Navy SEALs operation to eliminate Osama bin Laden in Pakistans Abbottabad in 2011. This chapter, number 27, starts on the 673rd page of this 902-page tome, but if youre reading from the start it wont be as daunting to get there as that sounds. Its a very readable book written in a flowing and gripping style.
This is how Obama recounts the moment he learnt bin Laden was dead: With a suddenness I didnt expect, we heard McRavens and Leons voices, almost simultaneously, utter the words wed been waiting to hear Geronimo IDd Geronimo EKIA. Enemy killed in action Inside the conference room, there were audible gasps We got him. I said softly.
Several hours later, Obama told his wife Michelle. This time he captures both the charm of the moment and its ordinariness. I had just finished shaving and putting on a suit and tie when she walked through the door. So? she said. I gave a thumbs-up and she smiled, pulling me into a hug. Thats amazing babe, she said. Really. How do you feel? Right now, just relieved, I said. But check back with me in a couple of hours.
