Years ago it was in a good book I read, really amazing.
Don’t have a title for you, sorry; book was at least 20 years old.
The Daily Mail also wrote a story about it, though much more briefly, the tale of a Hollywood screen writer who had taken up that book’s topic. He was going to make his Director debut in a movie about the actual goals of our invasion of Panama.
No longer listed at Daily Mail, the original article is mirrored at this much sketchier web site with really bad graphic lay-out:
What happened to this screen writer is....utterly bizarre and a fairly gristly. If his fate was a movie promo stunt..?
Then it is the highest stakes stunt I’ve heard of.
There was a film with a similar plot out of the UK. Not about invading a country but some bank robbers got a safety deposit box that contained material that was being used to blackmail the royal family - suddenly everybody was out to find the bank robbers from the blackmailer to the royals to the British intel.
interesting. thank you
