Fantastic read...

Excellent read. Very well researched and very enlightening about the state of affairs in the middle east in the early 80's. I should have written about this subject years ago. I still may but it appears Mr. Mullaney has beat me to the punch. Bravo on your first novel.
Simply, the best book I have ever read!
