The series developed from this book is about a million times better than the book. There are no citations for any of the claims made by the author and frankly, Reilly comes across as less an "Ace of Spies" as an enormous con artist and a murderer several times over. The tv series takes great liberties with the book, but that is for the good because the book is horribly written and I'm sure as much a work of fiction as what was portrayed on tv.
