FBI agent, Lara teams up with Uri Levin to investigate a vicious massacre at a Jewish preschool. This fictional book includes real historical accounts of anti-Semitism, terrorism, and nuclear threat making the stories seem very realistic. It is good that the book was well written and edited well.

The world has already lost too many lives as a result of terrorism and in some instances, lives have never been the same again as a result of terrorist attacks. It sounds like a book that's for the general audience; seems interesting too!

I am not sure I will enjoy a book that includes terrorist attacks, but this does sound very well-written. I will check it out. Great review!

The Devil in False Colors by Jack Winnick was actually pretty good. I was surprised that it was about how far people will go to express their idea of how the world should be and no one's opinion counts but their own. Then the good guy come riding in on the proverbial white horse. I would be interested in reading the rest of the book. I think it might become very exciting and very intense.

The topic of religious terrorism should be discussed. But not in a fiction novel that seems so one sided. Even though there are historical elements used in the book and the events seam very much like reality, unfortunately.

The plot is intriguing. The way the author connected the plot to some historical events seems interesting. It seems to give a close view on terrorism around the world. Congrats on BOTD!

Wow! Fabulous review. This book does not sound like one for the politically faint-hearted. It sounds very well-written, and I’m guessing I’d enjoy it immensely.

This well-detailed thriller starts off with a bang and is bound to keep the reader turning the pages. Great geopolitical details included and accurately depicted. Worth the read once the political views are overlooked.

Devil in False Colors seems like a really good read for fans of political thrillers. A touch of reality through historical events make the book even more interesting. Moreover, a well-developed set of characters and an action-packed storyline adds to the thrill. Thanks for the thorough review.

I'm not a fan of action-packed books, but I like that fact that this book involves historical nuances. Great job on the review! It didn't give too much of the book away.

A nice geopolitical outlook on religiously motivated international terrorism with strong ties to real historical events in the fiction novel "Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick . The story follows Uri Cohen, a Israeli businessman and Lara Edmond, a agent of FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. The story seems quite engaging.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
