My spy classmate, Andy Anderson, has written a delicious follow-on
to Greene's Our Man in Havana in his novel Sudden Recall. It is at
the same time funny, fast-paced, current and full of wisdom. It may
provoke a few flashes of indignation in Langley and on the Hill but
John Hunt's outbursts are long overdue. -Fred Hitz, Professor of
Law, University of Virginia, former Inspector General of the CIA
and author of The Great Game: The Myth and Reality of Espionage.
Andy Anderson was John Carol Kingsberry Hunt-one of the dangerously
ambitious bad-boy field case-officers who bedded their mistresses
in safe-houses and recruited high risk, dangerous spies without
prior CIA headquarter's approval.We used to say his operational
reporting reads like fiction-today it is the other way around.
-Richard W. Carlson, US Ambassador (ret.) Former Director of the
Voice of America Fact and fiction blur in this hall-of-mirrors
espionage novel by CIA spy master Andy Anderson, who lays bare the
awful truth about what went wrong-and is still going wrong-in
America's war on terror. Sudden Recall is the inside scoop. -Rick
Carroll, author of IZ Voice of The People, and former daily
journalist with the San Francisco Chronicle
This is a remarkable book. It is the real life story of a pilot of
the famed 91st Bomb Group, the Memphis Belle Group, in World War
II, and the missions flown in that Group by the author and his
comrades. It follows him from the time his B-17 was shot down over
the German-French border, he was rescued and hidden by villagers in
the tiny village of Baslieuse, then escaped through a Europe
occupied by Nazi forces desperate to escape pursuing Allied armies.
The book chronicles, in fascinating detail, the life and training
of those young men who made up the heroic 8th Air Force, and
describes the affectionate relationship often maintained by their
crews with that most famed heavy bomber of all time, the fabled
B-17. It includes some of the most tragic stories as well as some
of the wryest humor ever written about combat groups. A heavy bomb
group consists of 36 heavy bombers. The 91st lost 207 planes during
its WWII combat time-32 during the author''s flight tenure. Dr.
Anderson uses the words of the extraordinary crews of those planes
to describe the training they absorbed, the missions they flew, the
results they achieved, the tragedy of watching their planes explode
and their friends die, and the heroism that brought so many near
fatally damaged planes home with their dead and wounded crews. This
is also a story of growing up in pre-war America, and of the growth
and development of that sturdy character which enabled these young
men and their children and grandchildren to help create today''s
world. God bless them, their achievements, and what their heroism
made possible so that we could live in the world we do today.
