"A bit long winded in its excruciating detail but still...if you ever want to start a private war for your own commercial interests, this just might be the perfect handbook. One thing about Frederick Forsythe's books that I've noticed so far - you always learn something. That makes them worth reading in and of themselves."
"I liked this quite a lot but for some reason have not felt a tremendous urge to read more by Forsyth. I think the thing is, I like books with something more, some more fantastic element. This is pretty much straightforward realistic fiction."
