SOL SANDERS: PEOPLE….SEE NOTE PLEASE

Sol Sanders, my friend, has done it all, as correspondent, commentator, writer, and observer. He is unique. During our decades long friendship he introduced me to Hibachi food during marathon lunches where he recounted places he has been and people he has met. He once introduced me to Jonas Malheiro Savimbi a charismatic Angolan political and military leader who founded and led the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola. It was at a small breakfast party in an Upper East Side apartment where Savimbi  charmed us, all the while carrying a barely concealed little revolver. Sol has known rogues and heroes and spies. It is all in his new book.

In wonderful prose Sol takes us behind the scenes of the seminal events of the last century- the Cold War, China, Vietnam and the leaders and spoilers owho shaped policy. Read it!.
