It's a Battlefield
by Graham Greene
Review this book!
In this story of violence and betrayal, Jim, a London bus-driver, is accused of killing a policeman. From this point of departure, Greene takes us on a panoramic tour of the British judicial system as it slowly bestirs itself to an examination of the matter at hand, and in the process we are brought into the vast economy of modern crime--the lawyers, policemen, informers, and victims, few of whom seem capable or interested in making fine distinctions regarding guilt and innocence.

Media Reviews
"['It's a Battlefield'] is successfully revolutionary in technique, exciting to read and intelligently put together. It is above all not pretentious because of its new clothes; and weighing its daring against its subtlety, its humanity against its wit, I feel that Mr. Graham greene may have initiated a movement which will wean the English novel from its present competent dullness."
