Synopsis

The personal is political; with this slogan a generation re-made politics. Ward Just?s ambitious novel explores the relationship between a father, the American ambassador, and his son, the terrorist. Terrorists are not born ? they are the product of their times. The ambassador?s son has a vantage point from which to assess his father?s cruel abuses of power.
