- MOARDONGZPLZ 10y agoThanks for the heads up. I read the original in college and it was very interesting, although I thought it was a bit embellished. http://www.amazon.com/New-Confessions-Economic-Hit-Man/dp/1626566747 http://www.amazon.com/New-Confessions-Economic-Hit-Man/dp/16...
- arethuza 10y agoI read it a good few years back and found it interesting although I was slightly skeptical about to what degree the conspiracies described existed outside of the author's head. However, being older and somewhat more cynical (particularly after binge reading about the UK involvement in the Iraq and Afghan Wars) I do wonder if I should read this again - are there any materials out there that support his claims?
- akamaka 10y agoI also read the book, and what he describes is pretty much classic, straightforward bribery of foreign officials. There's a lot of embellishment by the author for the sake of hinting at broader conspiracies he didn't personally witness, and to aggrandize his own role in the matter.
- dayaz36 10y agoI read the book and it didn't seem like it was embellished in anyway.
