Description
Operation Relentless: The Hunt for the Richest, Deadliest Criminal in History by Damien Lewis. Viktor Bout, known as the 'Merchant of Death', was a ruthless arms dealer and former KGB officer who evaded capture for decades. His network of airlines supplied weapons to dictators, rebels, despots, and terror groups worldwide, making him an enemy of the free nations of the world. A top global sanctions buster, Bout was hunted by MI6, INTERPOL, the CIA, the NSA, and more. For years, Bout appeared invulnerable, shielded by a Russian state that partnered in his dark dealings. However, former SAS man Mike Snow, also known as 'The Bear', was approached by the US Drugs Enforcement Agency with a single question: could he get Bout? Snow's skills and knowledge of Bout's network made him the perfect candidate for the task. This gripping true story reveals the incredible courage and skill required to catch one of the world's most notorious criminals.
