| Zusammenfassung: | "A lawyer reluctantly decides to defend an assassin, and so puts his own life in danger. No longer a part of the establishment, he is caught between outrage and despair. His isolation increases as his personal relationships break down, leading to the novel's tragic and inexorable conclusion when he confronts the sinister forces which threaten to overwhelm him." "Set in an unnamed republic, Under the Lion is clearly a novel born out of the turmoil in South Africa."--BOOK JACKET. |
