Product Description
Like most works of significance, The New Meaning Of Treason can be approached on various levels. As a story, it weaves the details of the lives of those convicted of treason into a dramatic pattern that reads as compelling as if they were free creations of the author's imagination. The second level may be approached as psychological. It is this fact perhaps that explains why the familiar story is so fascinating. A traitor is more difficult to understand. He has turned against his country and culture which have nurtured him, the friends and colleagues who have regarded him as one of their own, and even against his own flesh and blood.
Perhaps the strongest claim this book has on the attention of reflective minds of our era is in the political questions it poses, and the answers it suggests.
