Ironically, I read most of this book while in a West Africa country a couple months ago -- not far from where this supposedly took place in real life -- it kept me interested during flights and at the hotel. Truth is stranger than fiction but this fiction is pretty darn good.
The twist at the end was surprising and thought provoking. If you like history and intrigue, you'll probably like this book. In fact, I think I'm going to buy another copy for someone's Christmas gifts.

The Dogs of War is one of Forsyth's best. Although written in the early 70's, it completely holds up over time (just as Day of the Jackal). The story is set in several exotic locations throughout Europe and Africa. In true Forsyth style, the very first 85% of the book is setting up the action in the final 15%. Making the arrangements for a coup de tat is fascinating and the action doesn't disappoint. Fantastic book - highly recommended.

This book is much better then the movie, although the movie was completely different from the book. If you are a fan of Forsyth, you will like this book.

I picked up the book attracted by the bestseller and interesting plot, it does has a pretty good start but I was a bit disappointed on how predictable the story has evolved. Thus I think it's average read.
