was drawn to Quest: Finding Freddie: Reflections from the Other Side by Thomas Richard Spradlin for its unique mix of historical nonfiction, adventure, and personal reflection. The premise of the author’s quest to locate a prominent businessman in 1970s Nigeria intrigued me, as did the promise of cultural and political insights along with the author’s personal journey.

This book intrigued me because of the topic of international politics and relations. Before reading it I expected the book to be like an action movie, but it was more rich with realistic details and logistics you usually never see in action movies. I don't know much about countries in Africa, so this was another reason why I wanted to read the book and it exceeded my expectations. I learned a great deal about the geopolitics of the time and what it actually takes to carry out this type of mission. It was enjoyable and educational!
