Absolute Friends

"ABSOLUTE FRIENDS is intentionally provocative, and it will win the desired outrage from those who support the Bush policies, just as it will please those who oppose them. It is a polemic, in a tradition that goes back to Shakespeare's portrait of Richard III, Swift's modest proposal and Orwell's 1984. History can decide whether Le Carré is right or wrong, prophet or crank, but no one can deny that for the world's leading spy novelist, a man with roots deep in British intelligence, to take on the White House with such ferocity is a political event of note, whatever its literary merits.John le Carre is the author of 'Absolute Friends', published 2004 under ISBN 9781586216634 and ISBN 1586216635.
