McDonell, Nick: An Expensive Education

A remarkable new novel from Nick McDonell, AN EXPENSIVE EDUCATION cuts between the African bush and Harvard - taking its readers deep inside this iconic university and the inner workings of the American intelligence service. A brisk-moving, relentless novel that focuses on a young American working a covert operation on the horn of Africa, a Pulitzer-Prize winning Harvard professor, a pair of Harvard students and a notorious African freedom fighter, Hatashil, who connects them all.
