Plot Summary of The Enemy Within
"A double-crossing Iranian general launches a campaign of terror in the U.S in order to blind the American government from his plans of conquest...This is by far the scariest book I have ever read, and Bond is brilliant using the theme of our own fear used against us...This is a must-read for every Bond fan. "
Jacob Hurt, Resident Scholar
