Customer Reviews

True history, not a comic book

This Historic novel is on the same level as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's 'Gulag Archipeligo'. It is not a comic book structured to please our sense of mystery. It is a careful reenactment of what happened in Greece and a careful analysis of the underlying cause. It took courage to write this book. The author was under indictment in Greece and his book was banned for one year. It is a challenge to keep Democracy alive even in the home of it's birth. If you are an intellectual light weight, stay away. The Hulk will appeal more to your taste.

Excellent Book

Good translation from the original Greek. "Z" is about a political assasination in Greece in 1966. Excellent read!
