Title: fun, well-written story from an experienced war reporter
Review: As I opened this book I told my girlfriend that if I didn't like the first sentence, I was going to put it aside and read no further.... the pressure was on."It wasn't until the Orient Express was nearing the Hungarian border, about two hours out of Vienna, that I found I was traveling on the passport of a murdered man."Brilliant! Needless to say, I continued onward, enjoying the book to the end.Passport to Peril is a lot of fun, and offers an interesting perspective on circa 1950 Hungary, at the time a mysterious place few Americans had hope ever to visit or to know, the author exploiting his particularly adventurous career as a reporter. It's a window into a past age, as well as a wonderful read.
