During the course of my life, I've barely escaped the wrath of an arms dealer in Hamburg, been strafed by a MiG during the Nigerian civil war, and landed during a bloody coup in Guinea-Bissau.

Not one of his better stories.
Absolutely love his work as a rule and there are far more brilliant than okay but this one is okay. David Rintoul would be fantastic apart from the exact same little hesitant pause in speech pattern that he applies to every single character in every single book that he voices. It becomes irritating and is quite a flaw. And he always does it. Other than that a beautiful speaking voice.

Reasonably good old school mercenary yarn
Forsyth always does his research, knows the tricks of the trade and can certainly write. These factors alone make even the minutiae of everyday life of his description interesting to read.
And the story here was a good one, up until the end when he plays to the crowd & turns the while bloody affair into a “feel good” ending, a sort of double-double cross that just suspended my suspension of disbelief.
Good narration.

Good story bad narrator
Good story, but the narrator David Rintoul spoiled the book for me. He swallows his words as a sentence gets longer and then he starts whispering. Sometimes he speaks so softly as to be 'in-Audible'. Must be the worst performer in my library.

What did you love best about Dogs of War?
Forsyth is a mastermind of a political thriller forcing the reader to imagine the unimaginable and believe it. The book is worth every page and as captivating as The Day of the Jackal.
