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.

    I'm disappointed that this author didn't write more books of this scope, as Maas does well with the espionage angle.

    Real world Bond villain story - if you want that then this one delivers.

    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Dirty Business of Spying
    Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2009
    Forget James Bond, Peter Maas' Manhunt shows what a dirty business espionage can be.

    Edwin P. Wilson sent more than 40,000 pounds of C-4 explosive, firearms, and ex-Green Berets to Muhammar Qaddafi's regime and establishing a terrorist training school in Libya. Those very same explosives were used to support enemies in attacks aimed at the former colonial powers.

    Did the CIA know about it? You bet. At his Virginia estate, Wilson hosted Ted Shackley, a legendary spook, and other budding Iran-Contra figures like Thomas Clines and Maj. Gen. Richard Secord.

    Wilson was their patsy. The blurb describes him as the Great Gatsby of the spy world, but he really was a dangerous blowhard who remained outside the reach of U.S. law for years with the help of the fortune he amassed selling arms overseas. A dedicated prosecutor, Larry Barcella, and his team of federal agents finally coaxed him out.

    Wilson went to prison arguing that he was working for the CIA all along, and after 20 years, he assembled enough evidence to convince a federal judge that he might be telling the truth. A prosecutor named Ted Greenberg had suborned a perjured CIA affidavit denying that Wilson had anything to do with the agency.

    What's amazing about Manhunt, published in 1986, is that this isn't much of a surprise to the reader.

    Bottom line: Well-written and extremely well reported, Maas' Manhunt should be on the shelf with other nonfiction spy classics like Wilderness of Mirrors.

    1.0 out of 5 stars The CIA Set Up Edwin Wilson
    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2023
    The problem with this book is Edwin Wilson was completely convicted on evidence the CIA fabricated. (I am not saying Wilson was a good guy), but he was set up and lured to take a plane by the CIA taken to the U.S. convicted to 25 years in prison. The set-up came to light after he had served 22 years and his conviction overturned. He got out in 2004 and died broke in 2012. He had made millions in his lifetime, true, but did not commit the crime s he was convicted of. He lost favor with the CIA period.
