Bayou of Pigs: The Reviews

"...extraordinary story..." - Reader's Digest Australia

"Stewart Bell has discovered a fascinating little known piece of history and spun it into an intriguing book that is well worth reading." - Blackberry Books

...sharply written narrative...Bayou of Pigs has something for everyone:
high drama mixed with Pythonesque turns, politics, steamy sexual innuendo
and plot twists that would put a smile on the face of John le Carre." - Toronto Star

"...a riveting tale." - Montreal Gazette

"With Bayou of Pigs, [Bell] continues to cement his reputation as one of
Canada's leading investigative journalists, one whose work is on par with
that of American writers such as Mark Bowden and Jon Lee Anderson...
fascinating book." - The Vancouver Sun

"...extensively researched and well-written..." - The Washington Times

"...a terrific account...Bayou of Pigs evidences some nice research, lightly
delivered, engaging portraits of the plot's quixotic yet scary principals, and
moves along at a crisp pace. In sum, it often reads like a fantastical plot-driven
thriller. Which makes it all the spookier for being true." - Winnipeg Free Press

"...blockbuster book..." - The Chronicle (Dominica)

"Stewart Bell's entertaining Bayou of Pigs has its comic side: a comedy of
errors about incompetent mercenaries ... And its sober side: it's a true story
about dangerous men ... " - Maclean's

...sounds like a blockbuster movie plot..." - Canada AM

"...a story of one of history's more bizarre crime plots...worth reading." - Sharp: Canada's Magazine for Men

"...well-written...I could hardly put the book down..." - Dominica Weekly

"...a fine piece of investigative journalism..." - Warren Kinsella, author of Web of Hate

"...excellent...I think you'll get a lot of fun out of reading this..." - Michael Harris, CFRA

"...tells the true story of this bizarre plot that will leave you laughing over how stupid they were, and disconcerted over how close they came to succeeding." - CIUT

"...an important contribution to the documented history of Dominica, as well as a fascinating read." - Paul Crask, author of Dominica (Bradt Travel Guide)

"Highly captivating ... like a script right out of Hollywood." - Toni Osborne

"...Selten hat man ein Buch gelesen, das einen realen, eigentlich sehr ernsten Hintergrund so unpathetisch und fast schon mit einem Schmunzeln darstellt. Da das Buch auf Interviews mit den Beteiligten basiert, wird nur zu verständlich, dass diese ?Mission? scheitern musste." - Börsen-Kurier (Austria)

"Dem Autor gelingt es die Ereignisse humorvoll und launig darzustellene. Es ist also fur Spass und Unterhaltung gesorgt. Das Buch ist an keiner Stelle langweilig." - Five Star review on Amazon.de (Germany)
