Only a veteran newspaperman such as Clyde Farnsworth - former bureau chief for the New York Times - could have written a novel as vivid, chilling, and uncannily informed as Shadow Wars. Pitting careerists against fanatics, geniuses against brute killers, and the power of physics against politics and war, Farnsworth unleashes a tale of ambition, treachery, and betrayal that races at a breakneck pace from the Soviet Union to Israel, the United States, and Switzerland. It is a story of human passions and intricate relationships as well as stunning action.
