About this ebook

HERO ON THREE CONTINENTS is a chronicle of a century with the
protagonist Henry Brown participating in events both cataclysmic and
personal, and interfacing with characters both famous and imaginary. From the
jazz age of the 1920s to the war-torn 1940s, to the international crises of oil
and terrorism in the 70s, this novel makes history intimate, the work of any
epic. The world needs a hero, and Henry Brown is such a man. Maitland-Lewis
demonstrates the importance of uncompromising research as well as the art of
presenting material in a fast-flowing, enjoyable, cant put it down style.
