About This Item
Synopsis
James Clavell, who died in 1994, was a screenwriter, director, producer, and novelist born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Although he wrote the screenplays for a number of acclaimed films, including The Fly (1958), The Great Escape (1963), and To Sir With Love (1967), he is best known for his epic novels in his Asian Saga.
Reviews
As a James Clavell fan,I have read most of his books.
This one is entirely different.
It is tiny. Under 100 pages
It addresses the rote learning experience in our schools and how easily young minds can be taken over.
I believe every single American citizen and those wanting to be citizens should read this. We truly do not ubderstand and do not APPRECIATE what freedom is.....until it disappears!
