Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

If the story of Edwin Wilson, the ex-CIA agent who came to serve Muammar el-Qaddafi as a freewheeling dealer in explosives and the technologies and tactics of terror, were laid before a reader as fiction, it would be rejected as too bizarre, too grotesque, too unbelievable. And yet the story of Wilson, and of his capture and conviction (featured recently on 60 Minutes ), is not only true but also provides food for thoughtas Maas's absorbing but somewhat blandly written account suggestsabout the subterranean role of America's national security agency. Yet, in light of the Watergate-CIA revelations, perhaps the Wilson story is not so strange after all. Fascinating reading for lovers of spy thrillers; recommended for public libraries.

It was a eye opening book when one considers what is currently going on in the middle east today. The weapons and training that was provided to Libya in the mid 70's and the down fall of Qaddafi and the terrorism that spread from that particular location.

A Good, Educational Read

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2015

I benefited from this book.

'Manhunt' is a classic of its genre: the profile of an "upstanding citizen" gone wrong. Much can be learned from such cases, on multiple levels and dimensions, and this one in particular does not disappoint. The book offers the reader valuable, substantial insight into the mind and times of a man who, once upon a time, had shown every outward indicator of legitimacy and correctness, only to betray those appearances entirely. The account of Mr. Edward P. Wilson raises so many relevant (and timeless) questions: How does such duplicitous behavior come about? What goes into such a life experience? And, most importantly: Just how common is this scenario in the world, in which we erroneously judge human books by their covers? Good questions, indeed, and 'Manhunt' takes us that much closer, in some small way, to answers. And, to top it all off, we are presented with a good, old-fashioned drama, with a plot and cast of characters straight from a spy novel. From a literary standpoint, I found the book to be easy to read, with a solid, functional narrative that didn't get in the way of the information.

So, a big thank-you to 'Manhunt's' author, subjects, and publisher. I am grateful for your work.

Reading about Qadaffi after he's gone...

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2012

Reading about Qadaffi after he's gone and with the coming of the Arab Spring gives the reader a new perspective on the dictator's regime and those who dealt with him. Edward P. Wilson was, unfortunately, one of those who dealt with him and got rich on million dollar weapons deals tainted with the dictator's blood or the blood of his victims. Maas does a very good job in bringing to the reader the nefarious activities of Wilson against a background of legitimacy as these activities were filled with the involvement of former CIA associates and employees. Wilson finally meets his match in a dedicated US attorney. Maas is certainly very good in retelling the narrative including realistic dialog of the various characters involved.
