    I read the book from a plane ride from London to Washington D.C. I liked the book as it explored a lot of the political matters that went on before, during, and even after the match.

    My only disappointment was that the book barely dipped into the games played between Fischer and Spasssky as I would have preferred more of the game analysis. Oh well. I guess I will have to find another book for that.

    Many authors have analyzed the 1972 match between Fischer and Spassky:
    Smith and Evans, Reshevsky, Gligoric, Byrne, etc.
