A review by zare_i
The Dogs of War by Frederick Forsyth

4.0

This one took me a while to finish but only because of me not the book. Due to the work and my complete lack of focus I forgot to pack this book and ended up with other bunch that I finished in the meantime just to go back to this gem and read it to the end in matter of couple of hours.

One of the reviewers said that book is slow and action consists of only last chapter - that is correct. Forsyth's books are as a matter a fact very detailed shows that confirm that actual violence, strike of assassins knife in the dark, silenced gunshot or all-out bombardment are either side-shows or culminations of days if not months of very careful planning and maneuvering. Without logistics, planning, asset acquirement there would be no actual action to execute in the first place.

Excellent book, highly recommended to anyone enjoying spy and mercenary literature.
