Dogs of War is an incredibly racist and misogynistic novel (goes well beyond mere depictions of racism and misogyny). I'm not suggesting the book is valueless, but it's concerning to me that someone can give a full-throated endorsement of such a text without at least mentioning these problems. One can only be left to assume that someone giving such an endorsement either 1) didn't notice these issues due to a shallow reading of the text 2) doesn't care about them or 3) agrees with Forsyth's racist/misogynistic views
