Chuck Pfarrer Libri

On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the town of Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in Washington, D.C.: 'Geronimo, Echo, KIA'. These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror. This is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Six. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the historic raid and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive boots-on-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission - both inside the building and outside. Pfarrer takes readers inside the operation as the SEALs flew over the wall of Bin Laden's shabby compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper into the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us to the exact spot where the al-Qaeda leader was cowering when the bullet entered his head.SEAL Target Geronimo is an explosive story of unparalleled valour, clockwork military precision, and deadly accuracy carried out by one of the most elite fighting forces in the world - the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six.

"Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country is Chuck Pfarrer's captivating adaptation of Edward Everett Hale's American classic "The Man Without a Country," first published in The Atlantic Monthly more than a century ago. Masterfully blending history and fiction, Pfarrer tells the story of a young artillery officer, Philip Nolan, who becomes embroiled in Aaron Burr's 1807 conspiracy to invade the territories of the Louisiana Purchase. Insinuating his scheme has official approval, Burr convinces Nolan to carry a coded message into the Orleans Territory. Nolan has no knowledge of the former vice president's intended treason and Burr has no idea that Thomas Jefferson has discovered his scheme. Soon Philip Nolan is in military custody with Burr, charged an accessory to the plot. The nation holds its breath as Burr is tried for attempting to tear apart the Union. The charges against Burr seem ironclad, but his lawyers are clever, and Burr walks free. An embarrassed prosecution looks for a scapegoat, and expands the charges against Nolan to include desertion and sedition. Learning that his own court martial will proceed, despite Burr's acquittal, Nolan denounces his accusers, damns his country, and tells the court he wishes never again to hear the words "United States" as long as he lives. The judges return with an ominous verdict: the prisoner's wish will be granted. Nolan is sentenced to permanent exile aboard a series of U.S. warships, never again to hear news from or speak of his country. Decades pass. Shuttled from ocean to ocean, Nolan realizes he is a stateless person, estranged from his keepers and forgotten by his country. Eventually passed aboard an American frigate in the Mediterranean, Nolan comes into the custody of a newly commissioned lieutenant, Frank Curran. When Barbary pirates capture an American whaleship, the pair is drawn into a web of international deceit and mortal danger. As a rescue mission is launched, Nolan teaches the young officer a lesson about duty, loyalty, and the meaning of patriotism. Equal parts adventure, naval history, and morality tale, Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country is more than frigate duels and small boat actions. Intricately plotted and beautifully crafted, the novel is a poignant and closely observed examination of the human condition"-- Provided by publisher

"Since the first navy frogmen crawled onto the beaches of Normandy, no SEAL has ever surrendered," writes Chuck Pfarrer. "No SEAL has ever been captured, and not one teammate or body has ever been left in the field. This legacy of valor is unmatched in modern warfare."Warrior Soul is a book about the warrior spirit, and it takes the reader all over the world.

On a runway in Sicily, his assault element surrounds an Egyptian airliner carrying the Achille Lauro hijackers.These are only a few of the riveting stories of combat patrol, reconnaissance missions, counter-terrorist operations, tragedies, and victories in Warrior Soul that illustrate the SEAL maxim "The person who will not be defeated cannot be defeated."From the Hardcover edition.

Die Navy SEALs gelten als eine der härtesten militärischen Spezialeinheiten weltweit und sind für die Liquidation von Osama bin Laden verantwortlich. Kein SEAL hat sich je ergeben, kein SEAL wurde je gefangen genommen und keiner wurde je tot oder lebendig auf dem Schlachtfeld zurückgelassen. Der Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer nahm an über 200 Geheimoperationen teil. In diesem Buch erzählt er von seinen gefährlichsten Einsätzen auf allen Erdteilen, bei denen er immer wieder in Todesgefahr schwebte. Im Atlantik half er bei der Bergung von Interkontinental raketenteilen, in Südamerika unterstützte er Special-Forces-Operationen und im Mittelmeer versuchte er, eine Geisel zu befreien. Hochspannend, sehr persönlich und mit bestechender Ehrlichkeit schildert Pfarrer die Kampf- und Anti-Terror-Einsätze der SEALs. Seine Geschichten sind keine reinen Heldenepen, sondern bewegende Schilderungen von Kämpfen, bei denen Angst, Verwundung und Tod immer eine Rolle spielen.

Am 2. Mai 2011 knackste der Lautsprecher im Lageraum des Weißen Hauses. Ursprung der Nachricht: Pakistan. Der Wortlaut: „Geronimo, Echo, KIA“. Diese Worte markierten das Ende der Jagd auf Top-Terrorist Osama bin Laden. „Codewort Geronimo“ ist die Geschichte dieses Einsatzes – erzählt von den Männern, die ihn durchführten. Chuck Pfarrer, selbst ehemaliger Kommandeur der Eliteeinheit Navy SEALs, sprach für dieses Buch mit Mitgliedern des SEAL-Teams, das Osama bin Laden aufspürte. Das Ergebnis ist ein Werk voller zuvor nie veröffentlichter Details, das den Leser in bin Ladens Unterschlupf mitnimmt. Pfarrer beschreibt buchstäblich jedes Detail – die Dunkelheit über dem Vorort, die Geräusche im Hof, den Geruch im Haus und die Beinahe-Katastrophe in Form eines kaputten Helikopters bis hin zu dem Moment, wo die Jagd auf den meistgesuchten Mann der Welt zu Ende ging. „Codewort Geronimo“ ist die Geschichte eines der spektakulärsten Einsätze unserer Zeit – durchgeführt von der härtesten Elitetruppe der Welt: dem legendären SEAL Team Six.
