4.0 out of 5 stars A Child of the Sixties, November 9, 2001
By 
John A. Jackson (Rancho Mirage, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The revolutionary: A novel
A stirring account of revolutionary organization and unrest in an unnamed European country. The Dutch-born author, who escaped Holland and fought with the British in World War II before moving to this country, has a very long and honorable main career as a radical journalist.

The conflict imagined in this novel is of the sort that dominated Western history from 1848 through the present. Koning is very much on the side of the revolutionaries -- who would dare to call them "terrorists?" -- but he is never blind to their weaknesses and failings.

In 1970, this novel was made into a first-rate if underappreciated film starring Oscar-winner Jon Voight as the title character.
