Robin Moore

    31 de octubre de 1925 – 21 de febrero de 2008

    Robert Moore es celebrado por sus cautivadoras narrativas que profundizan en las complejidades de las operaciones militares y los conflictos del mundo real. Impulsado por el deseo de comprender las cualidades únicas de los soldados de élite, Moore se sometió él mismo a un riguroso entrenamiento de fuerzas especiales. Esta experiencia inmersiva le proporcionó conocimientos de primera mano, formando la base de sus obras más importantes. Su escritura se caracteriza por su crudo realismo y su profunda exploración de los desafíos que enfrentan aquellos en la primera línea.

      “Dubai” es la novela del petróleo, del oro, de la insurrección y de los más tempestuosos amores. Como en “El quinto poder”, el autor recurre a la técnica de la novela para fustigar implacablemente el turbio mundo de los oportunistas. La acción se desarrolla en Teherán, y gira en torno al coronel Lodd, del Ejército norteamericano, verdadero “cerebro” organizador de negocios sucios, Robin Moore pone al descubierto las bajas maniobras de la CIA y de altos personajes de la política, quienes toleran e incluso favorecen acciones como las del agregado militar de la Embajada norteamericana en Teherán.

      One night two New York narcotics detectives, 'Popeye' Egan and 'Cloudy' Grosso come across a party, whose host Patsy Fuca behaves like a head gangster. The detectives are baffled to discover that Patsy is the owner of a lowly newsstand. It seems so odd that they start to investigate, unaware that they will break the world's largest heroin network.

      The Hunt for Bin Laden

      "As the [al-Qaeda terrorists] charged one wall, three Green Berets leaned over the parapets. . . 'Focus, squeeze, focus, squeeze' they recited quietly . . . Each time the lifeless body of an al-Qaida terrorist would snap back through the desert air and drop onto the sandy courtyard." The war in Afghanistan was the one of the most secret conflicts in recent history; little is known about how it was waged or what really happened - until now. Task Force Dagger: the Hunt for Bin Laden plunges the reader into America's War on Terror, from top-secret meetings on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, through to the liberation of Kabul sixty-two days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground. This is the story of how a few hundred men changed history and destroyed a hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than ninety days. Fully updated to include the 2003 war against Iraq and unique accounts of SAS involvement in both campaigns.
