| Publisher Description: Author of seven major international bestsellers over the past 30 years and read by over 100 million readers worldwide, journalist Dominique Lapierre has won international acclaim for his inspirational accounts of the events that have shaped the 20th century. At last, he offers a stirring memoir of his adventures at the center of history. In "A Thousand Suns," Lapierre introduces the heroes and heroines whose actions have influenced the course of human events -- from Mother Teresa and the slums of Calcutta, to a legendary matador in the bull rings of Spain, to the final days of the British Raj in India, and more. From the bestselling author of The City of Joy and coauthor of Is Paris Burning? comes a memoir of the extraordinary individuals and events that shaped the 20th century. |
