	BrothersJudd.com - Review of William Buckley, Jr.'s Stained Glass: A Blackford Oakes Novel
		Stained Glass, which won the American Book Award for Best Mystery, is the best of his Blackford Oakes mysteries--which at the time he was writing them were considered to be on a par with, though the political opposite of, John LeCarre's spy novels.
		In this entry Oakes is sent to West Germany to monitor and possibly eliminate a troublesome young political leader, Count Alex Wintergrin, under cover of working on the restoration of a cathedral on the Count's estate.
		As Blackie Oakes reluctantly conspires at Wintergrin's doom, rather than helping him to triumph, we realize the real tragedy that good men trying to keep the " peace" visited upon the world.

	Mongoose, R.I.P: A Blackford Oakes Mystery (Blackford Oakes Novel) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Chapter after chapter is devoted to Nikita Khrushchev's point of view, or Fidel Castro's, who are as cardboard as you might expect; thus any emotional "through-line" is lost.
		Blackford Oakes, the hero, shows up so infrequently -- I'd guess we see him in no more than one out of every six chapters.
		Blackford Oakes is a much more believable secret agent than that we are served up in any James Bond movie, more along the lines of a Jack Ryan, tenacious in persuing the aim of his mission.
