John Le Carré: A Delicate Truth

A Delicate Truth


Description

'With A Delicate Truth, le Carre has, in a sense, come home. And it's a splendid homecoming ...Satisfying, subtle and compelling' The Times A counter-terror operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being mounted in Britain's most precious colony, Gibraltar. Its purpose: to capture a high-value jihadist arms-buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, and a private defence contractor who is also his close friend. So delicate is the operation that even the Minister's Private Secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it. Three years later, when the horrifying truth behind Operation Wildlife is uncovered, Toby will be forced to choose between his conscience and his duty to the Service. If the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing, how can he keep silent? 'A brilliant climax, with sinister deaths, casual torture, wrecked lives and shameful compromises' Observer 'This is writing of such quality that - as Robert Harris put it - it will be read in one hundred years' Daily Mail 'Perhaps the most significant novelist of the second half of the twentieth century in Britain' Ian McEwan

Vaillant traces this positive force in three different kinds of "evolution" the natural selection of genes over millennia, of course, but also the cultural evolution within recorded history of ideas A Delicate Truth download book about the value of human life, and the development of spirituality within the lifetime of each individual. For thirty-five years, Dr. Vaillant directed Harvard's famous longitudinal study of adult development, which has followed hundreds of men over seven decades of life. The study has yielded important insights into human spirituality, and Dr. Vaillant has drawn on these and on a range of psychological research, behavioral studies, and neuroscience, and on history, anecdote, and quotation to produce a book that is at once a work of scientific argument and a lyrical meditation on what it means to be human.
