Has this bloke even read the book?

It wasn't the agent who 'ran' jericho that told the yanks that there was an informer. It was one of the scientists.

Also Terry Martin was not asked to take the photos to livermore- he did it off his own back. And if I may, this was a weak part of the otherwise brilliant book- the photos would already have been shown so many times already.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.20.172 (talkcontribs) 2007-11-11T17:14:37‎

First it is Yanks. Second, the book covered why wgy photos were brought. Third it was not a scientist that ran Jericho. 2401:7400:4009:44BE:B551:FC8:30B2:9855 (talk) 14:03, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Assassination of Gerald Bull.

[edit]

It's a long time since I read the book, but I'm pretty sure Bull was assassinated by Israeli agents not Iraqi's.211.31.192.208 (talk) 08:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC) I've just read this part of the book again, Bull was assassinated by Israeli agents, not Iraqui, I will amend the entry.211.31.192.237 (talk) 11:29, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is fiction and no agency is determined to have killed Bull. 2401:7400:4009:44BE:B551:FC8:30B2:9855 (talk) 14:03, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vienna State Opera

[edit]

In the sub-plot about the infiltration of the Viennese bank, the Mossad agent wins the bank's secretary over by taking her to the Vienna Opera (Chapter 12). It is stated that she is a great lover of classical music and opera bur she had never been to the opera because she could not afford it. That is nonsense. Even if we are to believe the bank was extremely filthy even with a Vice President's secretary, there are (and were at the time when the novel is set) tickets for standing room at a nominal fee that literally anyone can afford. And anyone willing to spend a few hours standing (first in line and then during the performance) can obtain them! (I find that significant because, if I find out in an area that I know well that I cannot trust the author, how can I trust him in an area that I don't know about?)

Another subplot

[edit]

Another subplot explains how intelligence agencies operate, especially the Mosssad. Mossad katsas use Sayanim, singular, Sayan, and Bodelim to assist their operations.

As I stated in my reversion "that's not a sub-plot, it's just descriptive prose throughout the novel" - as the novel unfolds the supposed workings of the above are discussed, but they are not plots (or even sub-plots) themselves. Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
