New York. 1984. January 1984. Pantheon Books. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394509927. 243 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Bascove. keywords: Literature America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘This may be true about William Walker: They say that twelve thousand men are dead because he came to Central America. ' So says William Walker himself as he prepares to listen to the story of his almost legendary life; and so begins Robert Houston's gripping new novel about one of the most mysterious figures in American history. In 1855, a heady time when everything seemed possible, William Walker, thirty-year-old surgeon, lawyer, newspapers editor, and radical reformer, set sail from San Francisco with is band of fifty-seven ‘filibusters' to conquer Nicaragua, liberate the Indians, and create a land of perfect democracy. Using a rich chorus of narrative voices-an Indian colonel, a black doctor, southern red-necks, soldiers, journalists, and diplomats-Houston circles in on Walker's mysterious power to drive men from the finest dreams of a utopian world to the bloody realities of slavery and death. He also follows Brian Holdich, a young soldier-artist, and Rachel Bingham, a beautiful actress, from the shores of the Nicaraguan ‘paradise' on which Walker's ‘immortals' first land to the blazing inferno of Granada in which Walker's violent lift reaches its climax. On one level, THE NATION THIEF is an unparalleled adventure story about a man who actually managed to steal a country; on another, William Walker's life provides a chilling anticipation of future U.S. involvement in Central America. inventory #4773.
