Description
The 2015 International Press Award winning book Operation Archangel (Comando Verde in its original title in Portuguese) has all the aspects of a great American page turner; it’s filled with real facts that were gathered during 2011 and 2012, when the Brazilian Armed Forces occupied and subsequently pacified the most violent shantytown in Rio, the home base of the Red Command criminal gang.
With their clear ability to tell a story, the authors keep the reader interested in the plot, thereby turning the facts into a delightful best-seller romance in an original, intelligent, mysterious and sensual way, with an electrifying narrative.
This is due to the combination of professional and personal experiences of Marcos Ommati, a journalist with an international career spanning more than 25 years; and Fernando Montenegro, who was part of the select Special Forces Unit in Brazil.
