The Tyrant's Novel

A Booker Prize-winning Author A New York Times Editor's Choice In a work reminiscent of the classic Fahrenheit 451, Thomas Keneally has written a dazzling story of a man caught between the demands of his government and his impulse to run for his life. Provocative and possibly prophetic, this is a literary achievement inspired by recent history's most intriguing events and characters. As he did in Schindler's List, Keneally combines his talent for fiction with his engagement in world politics.
