5.0 out of 5 stars great story, October 15, 2003
By A Customer
Mr. Bay's foreign policy and intelligence expertise shines in this book. The story is quick and the topic makes it timely reading for anyone interested in current world events. The plot is "real world" in its complexity, but very interestingly ties together an engaging story. I highly recommend the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very entertaining, July 14, 2003
By "mdewey13" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
As the quote goes, "from the hell of war to the cool recesses of the mind", so does this book go from Desert Storm to civilian life where a former combatant struggles with an atrocity he witnessed as the war ended, and how to bring the perps to justice. It is a very entertaning story. It is clear that the author has extensive military experience and history, and he weaves them expertly throughout. Getting into the mind of the fighting man is a fearsome task, turning it into a great story is even harder. Bay has done both.

After reading this book, I realized that the basic plot was actually fairly interesting. And that the protagonist, Peter Ford, was a fairly believable character. Read more

I went to hear the author plug the book at a local bookstore, left early, but bought the book because it was cheap and I was curious. It wasn't even worth the $7.50. Read more
