Do you enjoy watching movies like The Godfather II, Collateral, James Bond, The Bourne Identity and biopics like Che and Lumumba? If you answered yes to any of those choices, my book is for you.  Do you enjoy travelling and find yourself watching shows about countries around the world? If yes, you’ll want to get this book.”
