Review # 1 was written on 2007-09-16 00:00:00 Jihad Baker I know a lot of Irish people don't like the Cruiser because of his opinions on the north, but I read this book, and I think that he's gone completely off his rocker. I did like the part where he said that JP II was clearly threatening to merge with Islam... Guess I missed that diktat. However, the Cruiser was Dag Hammarskjold's man in the Congo, and his book "To Katanga and Back" (not available for reviewing on goodreads!), is a very readable account of that time.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-02-22 00:00:00 Yee May Leong This book was originally written for the CBC's Massey Lectures. The book was really hard to follow, I can't imagine what the lectures must have been like. There was very little to hold the different chapters together, and inside the chapters there a wild changes of direction. I wasn't really able to figure out what O'Brien's main point was - perhaps that was part of his argument.
