The electrifying true story of the pursuit for the man behind al Qaeda's suicide bombing campaign in Iraq

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.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Matthew was born in California where he grew up fishing and hiking the Sierra Nevada mountains with his father and brother. That would later transition to snowboarding, which took him to live in Switzerland for a winter in college. That was an eye-opening experience for a 19-year-old and made him more open to other people and their views on life. Once he returned to school he focused on the biological sciences where he met his wife of 26 years in chemistry class. From there, they moved to Oregon and Matthew's job as a field biologist sent him all over the United States to conduct surveys on endangered plants and animals. Now settled on the East Coast, he enjoys travel hockey with his two kids and exploring the weird and supernatural aspects of planet Earth and consciousness.
