From the behind-the-scenes decision-making of the Allies to the secret meetingsof Saddam Hussein's war cabinet, from the brave American fliers running theirdangerous missions over Iraq to the heroic young spy planted deep in the heartof Baghdad, Forsyth's incomparable storytelling skill keeps the suspense at abreakneck pace. Somewhere in Baghdad is the mysterious "Jericho", the traitorwho is willing--for a price--to reveal what is going on in the high councils ofthe Iraqi dictator. But Saddam's ultimate weapon has been kept secret evenfrom his most trusted advisers, and the nightmare scenario that haunts GeneralSchwarzkopf and his colleagues is suddenly imminent, unless somehow, the spy canlocate that weapon--The Fist of God--in time.
Peopled with vivid characters, brilliantly displaying Forsyth's incomparableknowledge of intelligence operations and tradecraft, moving back and forthbetween Washington and London, Baghdad and Kuwait, desert vastnesses and citybazaars, this breathtaking novel is an utterly convincing story of what mayactually have happened behind the headlines.
"Frederick Forsyth combines fact and fiction in "The Fist of God"...but[he] never forgets that he is writing a novel...Excitement without hysteria andplenty of credible action".
-- "The New York Times Book Review"
"[An] incredible, imaginative mind...master of international intrigue".
--Larry King
