5.0 out of 5 stars Great book reads like a fiction, September 16, 2002
By Ritu Raj (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Picked up this book because Charlie Moncrief is a friends father. Started reading this book and could not put it down, the story is told so well and the emotions and the drama are so put together -- reads like a Ludlum, and the amazing thing is that it is all real.

Highly reccomend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Clancy!, October 1, 2002
By A Customer
My daughter was reading it and I looked at it out of curiosity to see what it was about. I started reading and I couldn't put it down. It's a fascinating story about a family that fought for justice and won. It's more exciting that a Clancy novel!
