  2. I was going to type a looooonnnngg comment wanring you not to take anything Bicheno's says about the actual war itself (rather than his own intelligence role on Buenos Aires) as gospel.

    However, then I remembered reading Robert Fox's review of this book for the Guardian way way way back and realized I really don't have too.

    Please read his review here:

    Before you read "Razor's Edge". The sheer mumber and frequency of factual errors are mind boggling.
