My take on the situation is that it's a never ending 'war' fuelled by drug prohibition and escalating profits. However it does give the federal government police forces 'carte blanc' when it comes to procuring funding and justifying tactics normally not allowed. Even to the point of joining forces with old enemies to combat new ones. I think the days of distinct heroes and villains are over as they have been in reality for a long time.
As a novel it presents both sides accurately I think which makes it quite the adventure. The editorializing has been completely my own invention.
I used to devour his past novels like RED STORM RISING, PATRIOT GAMES and RAINBOW SIX, but perhaps my literary tastes have changed since that time. It was, this time, an interesting read instead.
