The first in-depth study of le Carré this century, this book analyses his work in light of key topics in 20th-century history, including containment of Communism, decolonization, the Berlin Wall, the Cuban missile crisis, the Cambridge spy-ring, the Vietnam War, the 70s oil crisis and Thatcherism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExamining \u003ci\u003eThe Spy Who Came in from the Cold \u003c\/i\u003e(1963), \u003ci\u003eTinker Tailor Soldier Spy \u003c\/i\u003e(1974), \u003ci\u003eSmiley's People \u003c\/i\u003e(1979) and other novels, this book offers an illuminating picture of Cold-War Britain, while situating le Carré's work alongside that of George Orwell, Graham Greene and Ian Fleming. Providing a valuable contribution to contemporary understandings of both British spy fiction and post-war fiction, Toby Manning challenges the critical consensus to reveal a considerably less radical writer than is conventionally presented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toby Manning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350036390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350036390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2018","brand":"Toby Manning","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925000356095,"sku":"9781350036390","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3c18c2c2-0f94-4ffb-a4de-57e390d1b3bc.jpg?v=1681074732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-le-carr-and-the-toby-manning-9781350036390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
