The book has been made into a movie that is coming out in about a week -- the book takes quite some time to get through, but knowing that it took the author about 15 years to write it, that makes sense.
I about fell out of bed several times reading about events that I recalled back the 70s and 80s as I read lots about covert ops, and was always amazed how the press would report it ( or not report it until someone comes out of the closet ). This is one of those reads that makes the light shine brightly on the reality of the world we live in.
Though it is called Charlie Wilson's War, it was really Joanne Herring's war that she got Charlie Wilson to find a way to fund it.........I think that this film was a screenwriter's dream as truth is so much stranger than fiction. Can't wait to see it.
