What is the author's style in By Way of Deception by Victor Ostrovsky?

The perspective of the book is that of the author, Victor Ostrovsky. The book is written in both third and first person point of view, with the narrator being the author. This allows the author to provide the reader with the necessary background and detail information that is required for the reader to understand the material that is being discussed. The use of the third person point of view overcomes the shortcomings of the first person point of view in which the reader is only privy to knowledge of events that occur in the presence of the storyteller.
