Colin Smith- Carlos: Portrait of a Terrorist

Colin Smiths "Carlos: Portrait of A Terrorist" is a gripping non-fiction book about a real life terrorist: Illch Ramirez Sanchez aka Carlos, one of the most dangerous men in the world during his reign. Colin Smith covers the major terrorist acts Carlos and others were involved in such as Carlos' gunning down three French Agents, JRA assault on the French Embassy in Holland, the kidnapping of eleven OPEC oil ministers and much more while giving a detailed description of a how young rich Venezuelan student, became the worlds most wanted man. Book follows a chronological order and at back has index of all the events taking place from 1966 to 1994, as well as having a picture index in middle putting real faces on to names. Since Sept 11, Terrorism has gotten alot of attention and is being combated, this is indepth story of the Worlds most dangerous terrorist (before Osama). A fascinating read, was surprised when I found it had no previous reviews, definetly recommend this book over any other books about Carlos, most of those books are fictional, while this seems to be a very accurate portrayl of the man and the events that took place.
