Thank you for that brilliant review. The book looks interesting, with narratives about Nigeria, and found it amazing that the Nigerian Naira was worth more than dollar at that time! The book is a heavy and serious read, and will be enjoyed by all those who like a bit of modern history.

Congrats to the BOTD and BOTM author. Reviving the history of the June 27, 1976, rescue at the Entebbe airport in the book is interesting to read. I am also certain that, because of the perfect OBC and Amazon ratings, the author's writing and delivery are excellent.

I have a lot to learn about Nigerian history and politics, and will definitely read this book to find out about the disappearance of Mr Nachman. The fact that the book is based on true events gives it additional flavour.

[Timothy Rucinski]

This is just the kind of historical/political book I enjoy when reading non-fiction. Having had some interesting experiences with embassies in recent years, I'm not surprised that there were issues along the way. This is a terrific review, and it's tempted me enough to grab a copy of the book and dive in.
