Kill or Capture

The "gripping" true story of the pursuit for the man behind al Qaeda's suicide bombing campaign in Iraq ( Kirkus Reviews ). Kill or Capture is a true-life thriller that tells the story of senior military interrogator Matthew Alexander's adrenaline-filled, "outside the wire" pursuit of a notorious Syrian mass murderer named Zafar—the leader of al Qaeda in northern Iraq—a killer with the blood of thousands of innocents on his hands. In a breathless thirty-day period, Alexander and a small Special Operations task force brave the hazards of the Iraqi insurgency to conduct dangerous kill-or-capture missions and hunt down a murderer. Kill or Capture immerses readers in the dangerous world of battlefield interrogations as the author and his team climb the ladder of al Qaeda leadership in a series of raids, braving roadside bombs, near death by electrocution and circles within circles of lies. "Arguably one of America's most skilled terrorist hunters, Alexander vividly captures the chaos, intensity and seat-of-the-pants action only a handful will ever experience." —Dalton Fury, New York Times–bestselling author of Kill Bin Laden
