SPECIAL OPS

When it comes to military stories, W.E.B. Griffin is one of the best. His latest novel continues that tradition. Readers learn of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, who wanted to take over Africa. When that effort failed, Guevara went back to Cuba; from there he tried--and failed--to take over Bolivia. This is the story of Guevara, who died in Bolivia and, despite his incompetence, became a martyr for his cause. Joe Morton's narration is crisp, and his voice fits the characters well. For those who enjoy adventure in a military setting, the story of who killed Guevara, and who tried to keep him alive, is an ideal choice.
