Captivating Cold War Novel,
By Gary Selikow (Great Kush) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TOPAZ (Mass Market Paperback)
This intriguing novel is set against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 . It revolves around four remarkable people : Michael Nordstrom , the American Chief of ININ , Inter-NATO Intelligence Network ; Boris Kuznetov , top Russian KGB defector ; Andre Devereaux , the chief of the French Secret Service SDECE and the captivating and beautiful Cuban aristocrat Juanita De Cordoba (who heads a resistance network against the Tyrannical Castro regime)We are taken form the streets of Paris and Copenhagen to Washington DC to the hell-on earth that is Castroite Cuba soon after the 1959 Revolution that swept the Communist regime to power Great intrigue is underway as one of the NATO allies is being manipulated to act in Soviet interests and one man is determined to stop this before the free world is destroyed While John F Kennedy is simply referred to as the young President one can be certain that the Imperial President of France Pierre De La Croix is based on none other than Charles De Gaulle as only one man (former leader of the Free French during World War II) dominated France during the 1960's .

Hold Your Breath....Till the Last,
By A Customer
This review is from: TOPAZ (Mass Market Paperback)
One of the masterpieces. The way cold war has been described is incredible. The way the suspense breaks is really prodigious. You cant drop it till the time you have finished it. The pages turn automatically. One of the few gr8 books read by me. I highly recommend this book.

Cuban missile thriller,
By A Customer
This review is from: TOPAZ (Mass Market Paperback)
Very good, even when read almost 30 years after its publication. Captures a snapshot of the cold war through the eyes of a colorful type cast espionage cast. The most memorable section of the book for me was Uris's lead character's early description of a class of bureaucrats who spend most of their time banding with other like-minded individuals to create a web of protection and incompetency!
