It makes you sympathise. It may even scare you. It should also make you - if you believe that freedom is essential - very, very angry. -- David Aaronovitch Times Frank and.more gripping than any spy story.the prose makes for powerful reading... He is a great writer who has been brave. -- Margaret Drabble Observer An intimate tale of fathers and sons, of the beginnings and ends of marriages, of friendships and betrayals. At the same time, Joseph Anton is a large-scale spectacle of political and cultural conflicts. New York Times Book Review
