Reseñas de la Crítica

“A dazzling blend of fact and fiction. This propulsive novel will delight, enrage, and—above all—deeply entertain.” —Michael McKinley, bestselling author

Clever! Clever! Clever!

Given the serious topic I am not sure it's appropriate to say that this was a fun read, but it sure was for me. I was in my very early twenties in the eighties, and very, very busy, but I was generally aware of Donald H. Rumsfeld and the events depicted in this alternative history political thriller. The author does such a great job of weaving this fictionalized story with real life characters, that at times I found myself believing the whole thing, but unfortunately Rumsfeld was never prosecuted for his actions, and while I don't believe that an International Criminal Court was the proper venue, I do think a U.S. court should have done the job. The ending was, and I'll have to repeat myself very clever, an enjoyable read.
