The Feather Men

Product Information

I had this book many many moons ago and somehow it has disappeared when i had thought about reading it. In 2011, Fiennes stated in an interview with The Daily Beast: "I had chose [have chosen] to change my mind from time-to-time in terms of answering people, and at the moment, I choose to say that the book, and therefore the film, are total fiction. I was a little disappointed (although I knew it was a used book) that the pages were quite heavily yellowed. Well written with at times too much detail but on reflection it was needed to ensure the reader understood fully what was going on.

I found this book in a NY Times book review section on mysteries and did not know it was about Oman, when I started to read it. Best book I have read in a long time and it is a true story, with a lot of it set in Oman, a country I have never thought very much about.I happened to read that book in Saigon in 1963, some ten years after it was written, in the city where much of the action takes place, and even though the situation had changed since then the book still struck me as totally true to life. Another thing worth noting too - in both cases - is the different treatment given to the story between the book and the film. It was written like a non-fiction work (every acronym or slightly unusual word was then explained in brackets, frequently quite unnecessarily), and the "exciting" scenes were told in a completely matter-of-fact way, losing any sense of tension.

Then he arranged with the Clinic to kill the servicemen believed responsible for the deaths of his sons. Unfolding over 20 years, the killers are very successful despite the efforts of a private overwatch group known as The Feather Men, a secret group that tried to protect current and former SAS men.
