False Flag by F.W. Rustmann Jr.My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first book I've read by this author but won't be the last. Was fascinated by the methodical planning, the connections and the resources available throughout the world for covert operations. Cannot say it was heart-racing action and shoot 'em up as seen in movies and TV but rather the seemingly everyday movements of men and women who are actually organizing a rescue of a CIA operative in Bierut-over dinner and drinks, visiting with old friends, contacting people who you could easily have dealings with--such as a fishing guide in Fl or a yacht owner in Greece, who for a price will take you touring the Greek Isles. The very end of the book has some heart-racing and heart-stopping moments but by and large the action is intellectual and systemic--and dangerous and scary! It makes spycraft seem real and almost normal--that is scary, too!
This is a review of an uncorrected proof provided by Goodreads for that purpose.
