A Review of The Dogs of War
The Dogs of War by Frederick Forsyth My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Dogs of War is another excellent Forsyth book that is well plotted and heavily detailed with some limited action at the end. It's almost an injustice to call it a thriller, but a thriller it is. Just a slow paced one. …
