The Wonga Coup: Simon Mann's Plot to Seize Oil Billions in Africa ペーパーバック – 2009/1/1
英語版
Adam Roberts
(著)
In March 2004 a group led by Nick Du Toit and former SAS member Simon Mann tried to overthrow the tyrannical Obiang Nguema, president of Equatorial Guinea. They were working for investors, allegedly including Mark Thatcher and "J.H. Archer", who wanted to seize control of Africa's third largest oil producer. Roberts tells how the coup was set up and abandoned at the last minute, and how the plotters were seized and subsequently tortured. The new material includes an account of Mann's illegal abduction from prison in 2008; his dramatic trial, in which he accuses named individuals, including Thatcher, of being deeply involved in the plot; Thatcher's fears of "extraordinary rendition" to Equatorial Guinea; and Eli Calil's revelatory admission that he supported forced regime change in Equatorial Guinea.

レビュー
Riveting and superbly researched ... a brilliant, mordant, blackly comic read. ― Sunday Times
Adam Roberts shows, with merciless precision, how the dogs of war panicked where they should have been cool, and screwed up where they should have been clinically efficient. ― Observer
Impressively researched and briskly narrated ... takes readers into a world where slippery chancers and thuggish ex-special forces types, mostly South African, rub shoulders with the spooks and dodgy financiers. ― The Daily Mail

Brilliante Reportage

Investigativer Journalismus vom Feinsten. Meine Wege und die des Autors Adam Roberts kreuzen sich in Ferndo Poó - der alte Reporter Rufus Katzer wills noch mal wissen und geht den Spuren der Boatpeople und Islamistenterror nach, um die gegensätzlichsten Charaktere bei einem Attentatsversuch auf dem spanischen König zu vereinen. Der Roman wird unter dem Titel "Der Mann mit dme Frettchen" erscheinen.
Aber auch alle, die nicht Schreiben und nur Spannung und gutes Lesevergnügen suchen, kommen in "The Wonga Coup" auf ihre Kosten. Hinter den täglichen Nachrichten kommen furchtbare Wahrheiten an den Tag.

Unbelievable story well told

Fascinating read, especially when realising it all actually happened...I followed this in the news before the book was published, so had a bit of background. Even that made it more compelling to read the inside story.
