Blackhawk Down's Aftermath: Inside the Hunt for al-Qaeda

The 1998 embassy bombings in Africa were a devastating declaration of war by al-Qaeda against the United States. They launched a hunt for the masterminds, led by a legendary CIA operative in a country where American soldiers were not welcome. When the September 11th attacks changed everything, the mission became a top priority, leading to a new era of counter-terrorism. But the terrorists struck again, more lethal and organized than before.

This is the story of how America's best intelligence and special forces had to think of the unthinkable to hunt down the terrorists.
