Fools, Knaves, and Heroes Great Political Short Stories

Jeffrey Archer, one of the world's most popular writers of literary thrillers, has, with the help of Simon Bainbridge, put together a collection of his favorite stories about the denizens of the political jungle. Among the authors represented in this volume are Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, James Thurber, Kingsley Amis, Jack London, James Joyce, & Jeffrey Archer himself. The collection is wonderfully diverse. The category of "political short story" is a deliberately loose one, for not many writers have hands-on experience of the world of politics. The authors here might have described their stories as being about people, rather than politics.Fools, Knaves, and Heroes Great Political Short Stories, with ISBN 9780788163777 and ISBN 0788163779.
