A new book written by a member of this community

Osama's Angel is a novel that speculates on whether the US, after ten years of preparation, would have decided to kill bin Laden instead of capture him.

The operation is examined in detail and the competitive relationship between Devgru and Delta is highlighted.

Readers from this website will be amused to find one or two characters from here with cameo roles in the story. This site is featured in the Acknowledgement page for its valuable contribution to the content of the book.

As of today, Osama's Angel is available in electronic form, and from next week as a conventional paperback.

Anyone here who reads the book is invited to write an informed criticism of the book either here or on Amazon.

For an author with several books, there is very little info on the web?? No FB or linkedIn, not even sure there is a picture..

I suspect Michael McWilliams is a nom de gare?
