Alexander is on a singular mission to Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice. Elsa, his support network, is struck by the uninhabited wilderness of Afghanistan and the dramatic, even transcendental, information gained by Alex in a very brief space of time. Brooding over this complex problem meant that in the drifting darkness, a reassurance of a safety line had arrived like a bolt from the blue. "Helmand Province" is inspired by research into the Afghanistan conflict and the capture of Osama Bin Laden. This book is well researched from 1993 to 2012, which formed the time frame of the Afghanistan wars. These wars encompassed the civil war and the use of the Taliban in the 1990s to the launch of Operation Enduring Freedom and latterly the ongoing war on terrorism. The completed works follow on a central theme of the rise and fall of Osama Bin Laden from Liberia in Africa, where he was trained to his journey after 9/11, hiding in the caves of Afghanistan as a fugitive from the American military. Many journalists and active agents died in suicide bombings and attacks while traveling as part of the process as eradication teams in wars in Jalabad, Helmand province, and Benghazi in the region. The book captures some aspects of this time in a fictionalized form. The war it has been shown has changed the lives of many families born in the country itself and of the soldiers sent to fight there.
