The Fist of God by Frederick Forsyth (1995, Paperback, Reprint)

Frederick Forsyth, although not one of my favorites, yet a powerful writer, has presented the subject in THE FIST OF GOD, 1994, in a cunningly twisted way but making it quit easy to follow the plot for the reader. The subject of the book tells the events occurring in the Gulf War when the Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, began his invasion of Kuwait, calling the country as the nineteenth province of Iraq. This is a complicated espionage story when Mike Martin agrees to infiltrate a certain neighborhood and keep his touch with the infamous Jericho, passing along sensitive and closely-guarded Iraqi intelligence back to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, where American and British forces await the retaliation deadline. The Iraqi Secret Service, AMAM, eventually discovers the close approximation of the transmitted information and begins its crackdown to find the source. In the mean time, innocent people are arrested, interrogated, tortured and die.
The plot is wonderfully and closely knit. Difficult to put the book down.
However, the author—intentionally or otherwise—has referred to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf, which is a gross geographic blunder. From a writer of his esteem it is difficult to perceive this error as ignorance.
