The Red International / by Dr Zacher ; Authorised Translation of the Third German Edition by E. M. Geldart ; with Preface and Notes by the Translator - Hardcover
As an MP, Douglas Hurd would write a new short story every year during the summer Parliamentary recess. This collection comprises ten tales, including a moving account of a family in Bosnia (The Last Day of Summer), a caper about drugrunning off Florida (A Suitcase Between Friends), and a grimly realistic Ulster vignette (Fog of Peace). Each of these stories reflects the intelligent concerns of a politician engaged in, and committed to, both the everyday world of domestic matters and at the highest level. All admirers of the bestselling THE SHAPE OF ICE will derive enjoyment from them.

About the Author:
Douglas Hurd is a former Minister for Northern Ireland and Foreign Secretary in Margaret Thatcher's Government. He was also Political Secretary to Edward Heath when he was Prime Minister (1970-74), becoming Lord Hurd of Westwell in the 1997 honours lists.
Review:
'What Douglas Hurd does possess, which makes him a rarity among politicians who write political novels, is an ability to translate to the page what it feels like to be a contemporary politician.' OBSERVER 'This diverting collection of short stories has items that gave the very-precise flavour of life of a modern politician, but Hurd's bried is wider than that, and his imaginative variety of subjects are dispatched with some aplomb... The humanity and humour of these pieces is always refreshing.' GOOD BOOK GUIDE 'Neat twists in several of the tales, and much elegant writing.' COUNTRY LIFE 'Simple dialogue and believable characters underpin elegantly constructed narratives.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
