The common man was kept in the dark about corruption. Jack knew change could only come by allowing free speech to shine a light on widespread abuse. In his news sheet\u003ci\u003e, The North Briton, \u003c\/i\u003e he wrote fierce articles detailing these iniquities. It was a dangerous course; Jack risked imprisonment or even being hanged.\u003cbr\u003eWhile he pursued this mission, Jack practised the raffish lifestyle of a libertine without realising his negligence was depriving people close to him of their liberty. And what's more, Jack didn't realise that he himself was captive.\u003cbr\u003eWhat calamity would occur to open Jack's eyes to the price they were paying?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Stott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798870656083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.71d","brand":"Robert Stott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49168996106495,"sku":"9798870656083","price":17.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wilkes-robert-stott-9798870656083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
