About This Item
London: HarperCollins, 1991. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, 1st printing, unclipped d/j (slightly scuffed); red clothbound boards, gilt spine titling bright; text block firm but slight forward lean; unmarked pages and crisp.. 8vo: royal (250 x 170 / 10"" x 6_""). Deep in the South American jungle the MAMista Marxist revolutionaries are fighting a hopeless, protracted war against a dictator - while the CIA see an opportunity. Amid the turmoil, three very different people - a doctor, a young firebrand and an educated revolutionary - find themselves thrown together and trapped at the heart of a battle where the enemy is uncertain, and there can be no winners. Len Deighton's first post-Cold War novel is a chilling and compelling story of revolution and betrayal.
