How Are The Hyenas Today? — John Moore

How Are The Hyenas Today? mixes love and politics, in the stormy times of the Suez war and the emerging CND movement. The romantic adventures of Joe, a lecturer with left-wing credentials inherited from his parents, are portrayed with sexual honesty. As the fluent narrative follows his increasing interest in the Suez conflict, it becomes a political thriller centred on Government secrecy and cover-ups, weapons of mass destruction and the hidden collusion of the British and Israeli governments. Joe spends time in a nuclear shelter and there is a graphic account of his encounter with the police. This is a story of yesterday for today.
