Why read it?
1 author picked Shades of Greene as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My last book is about a family of little known figures, with only one of them who could be said to have any influence on shaping history. This is the family of the British writer, Graham Greene.

From John's list on little-known figures that have helped shape history.
