The reason I selected this title for my review is that is was VERY early in the morning before I put down this book. It is one of those rare books that you wish just went on and on because almost each page has a fresh revelation about the subject covered. I do have ...

Saboteurs: The Nazi Raid on America

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 ...

A great work
I picked this book up in Bangkok as I was browsing through a second hand book store, and didn't expect much until I read that this was a novel by the guy who wrote House of Cards, To Play the King and The Final Cut. As mentioned above, this covers the events leading ...

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, ...

On Black Saturday, the ...

Holt Paperbacks

Highly informative and laced with history
Madeleine Albright: A Twentieth Century Odyssey was a joy to read. It was well-written, in precise, easyily read prose. The research job was obviously fantastic, as Dobbs uncovered facts that even Madeleine was at least at one time unaware of. This history of Madeleine ...
