bizarre story telling
Published by TA , 6 months ago
continually looses the reader with bizarre references that are confusing as to what is going on. in correct historical statements, poorly edited, grammatical errors, and difficult to follow. mostly it's about fluffing up the author instead of the story. very disappointed!
Excellent!

Colonel Bogdanos is a warrior, a police officer and a historian all in one. He is the real life incarnation of Jack Ryan. "The Thieves of Baghdad" reads like a novel, however, it gives us a glimpse of the life of a true hero. If you want to know how it felt to be there, read this book. Bogdanos is what I call "Good People". Ed d'Alessandro NYPD Emergency Service Unit, Retired
truth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
truth is stranger that fiction, is also more compelling! This isn't something that might happen it did. All the usual catch frases apply a page turner, couldn't put it down apply, but the fact is that this is real it is history that is unfolding even now and it is our history in the making. It's not history we studied in books but saw on the news in a depth and reality that a 3 minute news story can't hope to reach
It is like you are there

What a great read! It reads like a first hand report and hence you feel as if you are there. Anyone who has an interest in that part of the world, and all that is going on there, should read it. Powerful and enlightening.
An Incredible Read!!!

I found this book to be absolutely riveting. I took it on a business trip, and couldn't put it down! This book gives you and up close and detailed look at the team assembled to investigate and recover antiquities stolen from the museum in Baghdad. I found it refreshing to read an account written by the head of the team, who could capably give an accurate account. Too often, authors who "weren't there" write books based solely upon the accounts of others. That certainly isn't the case here. You won't be disappointed!
