I'm reading a book called Jackal by John Follain. It is about Illyich Ramirez Sanchez, otherwise known as Carlos the Jackal. I picked it up because i was looking in the real crime section of my local bookstore, looking for an interesting read. I had been interested in Carlos the Jackal's story for some time. I'm finding this book interesting by virtue of the fact that he seemed like a very flawed, almost incompetent terrorist, yet there is this whole mythology about him. The book attempts to break through some of the spin and dig into various sources who knew him, and draws on interviews and transcripts. It's heavy going, but I'm about half way through it.
