The Infiltrator – Martin Walker

Description

For London, it was an experiment. They had taken David Maddox out of the toughest unit in the British Army and trained him for eighteen months for this one job… an intensive course in how to break a country apart and rebuild it the way London wanted. The Americans had done it in Chile. They called it destabilization.

The country is Portugal, in the summer of 1975. The provisional government is tottering after the death of Slazar, the old dictator. The Communists are moving in. This is the new warfare of the 1970s: war in the economy through the unions, through tourism and through trade. If Portugal goes left – or right – Spain, Italy, and even Britain, could be next. Maddox has to control a revolution.

In this exciting first novel, packed with action and suspense, seasoned with sex, Martin Walker shows how the new style intelligence man, like Maddox, really works. It wasn’t exactly like this in Portugal – but it was close.
