Codename:Octopus,
By Broni Bach (United States of America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Codename: Octopus: A True Biography (Paperback)
This book will shock you! The contents of this book reveals the reasons why some of the major problems in this country and the world are still ongoing from the late 1970's; why Saddam Hussein is still in power, why we invaded Granada, and probably what may have happened to Jimmy Hoffa. This book is very revealing with names of famous political personages and where they got their money. The author wrote this while a contract was out on him to maim or to kill. All the people in the investigative end of the book are dead except the author. I would highly recommend reading this book to get up-to-date on what's going on in the world and in this country.

Everything written in this book is all true. Every word. The information was taken from daily memos while on this job or jobs working undercover for the president. Real names, address, phone numbers and situations.

Completely Fabricated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Codename: Octopus: A True Biography (Paperback)
This is a complete work of fiction. Some of the names and events are real, however the story is a complete fabrication and has little if anything to do with reality. Save your money.
