[TheSportsPredictor]

Author of bunches of spy books who was basically a spy himself:

Giant of the genre and the real deal. RIP.

 

[OscarMadison]

As if 2020 couldn't suck any worse.

 

[Azrael]

Just a giant, with or without reference to category or genre.

Tremendous writer and thinker and chronicler of the terrible sad entanglements of the postwar world.

Leaves a long shelf of tremendous work.

Rest now.

 

[Elliotte Friedman]

Loved his work. RIP

 

[maumann]

I sincerely hope he was lucid enough to revel in Donald Trump's election loss. He wrote several essays on the eventual decline and fall of the U.S., based on our xenophobia and overt racism.

 

[Neutral Corner]

There was a time when I would have argued with him.

Fabulous work.
