“DIVERTING THE BUDDHA is a highly recommended political thriller, a driving, powerful, entertaining novel marking Bob Swartzel as a writer of considerable accomplishments.” Midwest Book Review "Bob Swartzel writes with authority about military and corporate matters and his description of the Buddhist temples is excellent. Because of this authenticity, the reader is plunged deeply into the destructive atmosphere that was Vietnam. By the middle of the book, the reader is sucked into this story like the boots of the soldiers who must patrol constantly watching for the enemy and never trusting anyone. Because of this authenticity, the reader is plunged deeply into the destructive atmosphere that was Vietnam. We feel the mud and smell the blood of dead bodies. I highly recommend this book for all people who would like to know the real story of the war in Vietnam. It truly shows the effect that a war can have on any country and on its institutions." Muse Book Reviews, reviewed by Barbara Ehrentreu "A novel that looks at a gentle culture that found itself under attack. Being able to understand a complex foreign culture is not an easy task. Yet Diverting the Buddha makes this task very easy. It is a credit to the author’s knowledge and skill." Boggle Books Australia "A very powerful and disturbing novel." S.V. Swamy Book Reviews eBook available at: (Please click link below) Double Dragon Publishing! Trade Paperback available from Barnes and Noble Books at http://www.barnesandnoble.com Read Excerpt at: (Please click link below) Excerpt! This novel is about a time when the battle for hearts and minds has begun to go wrong, a time when policy experts hatched a desperate scheme. If their plan succeeds it will profoundly alter history, but its outcome is far from certain. What is certain is their efforts are having an explosive impact on the lives of the novel’s main characters. The result is a thrilling read, one that boils with intrigue, mayhem and betrayal. |
