Saboteurs: The Nazi Raid on America
Michael Dobbs

Vintage, 2005

Excellent book
I'm still not quite sure why I liked this book so much. Let me just say Dobbs does a terrific job (aided by some very detailed sources) of outlining a story that is bizarre, funny, and strangely compelling. It's one of those books where you keep coming across events ...

Whispers of Betrayal
Michael Dobbs

HarperCollins UK, 2001

Good British Political Thriller
I picked up this book during a recent trip to London, after seeing the adverts promoting the book in the London Underground. I read the British version, entitled 'Whispers of Betrayal' but I assume that this is the re-titled American version of the same book. The book ...
  
  











  



  
The Final Cut
Michael Dobbs

Harper, 1998

Best of the trilogy
The third and best installment of the trilogy. The writing is a little laboured, by the plot rattles along. The plot line and developmetn is a lot tighter than the previous two books. The despicable PM is finally seen as the creature of his own making - manipulative, ...
