Very good hardcover. Simon & Schuster, 1977. 371 pages.
A fast-paced, first rate diplomatic thriller full of the kind of intrigue, insights and authenticity that only a couple of veteran reporters and writers like Marvin Kalb and Ted Koppel could have produced. It is right up-to-date with the political news of today, but with a suspense all of its own.
