A good preparation for reading this book would be the movie "The Quiet American," based on a novel by Grahame Greene, himself an ex-spook. Greene shows the active terror role of the US early in the Viet Nam war. A bomb constructed with a plastic supplied by the CIA, goes off in a market place in Saigon. The CIA also had an expert sniper and trainer of snipers and bombers in Bosnia in 1992, when the war broke out. M/Sgt Lawrence Freedman, US Army (Retired), had taken to calling himself "Super Jew". Do you think he might just have known Sarajevo's market places and bread queues? Market place bombs and soft civilian targets are a modus operandi of Hezb'ollah's "War of the Weak?. Since the US under Presidents Bush I and Bill Clinton armed and trained the enemies of the Serbs, anyone with a smidgin of grey matter between the ears must reject the familiar Serbophobic version of things. According to W. Thomas Smith Freedman as a teen-ager was reported to have exhibited sociopathic traits. He is said to have terrified his high school teachers. He is even said, armed with bow and arrow, to have robbed a grocery store. In Somalia Freedman's 4x4 ran over a landmine, the official CIA story goes. (At first the Agency denied that Old Sarge was their man.) ?-Alas. America's first casualty in Somalia and sniper/bomber in Sarajevo 1992 won't be writing his memoirs. They would have made a fabulous read and movie.
