Forsyth has a knack to embed real world events and history into his novels. This makes them realistic [to such extent that cliche "story that comes from the newspaper pages" rings very true] and able to completely attract the reader's attention to the very end.
While story does start with journalist investigation into death of the one of the Holocaust survivors and search for the surviving Nazis supported by notorious ODESSA organization, what makes this book a true masterpiece is a twist at the end. This twist changes everything and is in my opinion very realistic - no matter how much we like to boast that we are humanitarian and philanthropists personal issues are those that drive our actions in the end.
Excellent novel. If you like thrillers with a historical background do treat yourself with it. ( )
The first half of this book is excellent. Frederick Forsyth provides a lot of detail on how the old Nazi SS troupers disappeared and escaped into German society. I don't know how influential they are in the real world, but there is enough to engross a reader.
Peter Miller's chase is well told in the book's first half, but then it fizzled out at the end. The book ended! Without warning! ( )

It was one of those tanks that General Israel Tal hurled into the battle for the Mitla Pass two days later, and at noon on Saturday, June 10, caked with dust and oil, scored by bullets, its tracks worn to wafers by the rocks of Sinai, the old Patton rolled to a stop on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal.
