Superb... A wholly absorbing and powerful narrative full of good sense, properly weighed facts and clear understanding -- Peter Hitchens * Daily Mail * Fascinating... as well as putting a human face to all the people involved - victims and adversaries - it fills in the omissions (many of them deliberate) in the official version of events -- Paul Theroux
