I thought I knew suffering. I was wrong. I thought I knew what it meant to be in pain. I was wrong. I thought I knew what it meant to lose everything. I was wrong. I thought . . . I thought . . . I thought life got better after I finally got everything I dreamed of, yet here I am a broken man. With nothing to live for but revenge. He took everything from me. My friends, my wife, my child. Now, I shall show him what it means to go to war against a man who has lost everything and will die a thousand deaths to get it back. Review: An Excellent Military Thriller - I have read this book about 10 times. Admittedly a little outdated, it is a great fiction novel which feels like it is non-fiction. Forsyth is very descriptive and entwines a complicated plot, but lays it out simply enough to understand the complexity. Review: Forsyth is a genius - I am a big fan of the movie “The Dogs of War” with Christopher Walken, and every time the movie is shown on TV, I try to watch it. And when I was looking for new authors and titles to read, F. Forsyth and the Dogs of War “popped” up. I was sure that the book would not be like the movie, simply because there is no way of making a good movie while sticking to the book. And I was so right. Other than the overthrow of Zangaro, how it’s done, why, and by whom is quite different from the movie…miles apart. I think that Forsythe is a master of suspense and most of his books are masterful. I happen to believe that The Dogs of War is one of those. I recommend this book highly. Even if it’s dated from the 70s, the world and human nature has not changed that much.

spannend
Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass mich dieses Buch so fesseln kann, dass ich es in weniger als eine Woche zum Lesen brauchte.

A timeless classic
Decades after having first read this classic by the master story teller Frederick Forsyth I purchased a Kindle edition of the book and read it all over again due to sheer nostalgia. And while I did recollect the broad contours of the story and the ending I must confess that a lot of details had faded from memory. It was sheer pleasure reading this timeless classic once again. It goes to the eternal credit of Frederick Forsyth that he has been able to create a masterpiece that gives the same reading pleasure despite the passage of decades since it was first published. It is one of those books that one must read at least once in his/her lifetime.
