This is his own account of how he was forced to live in hiding for over a decade; at once intimate and explosive, this is the personal tale behind the international story.<BR><BR> In Joseph Anton, Rushdie tells the remarkable story of one of the crucial battles, in our time, for freedom of speech.<BR><BR> Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Biography Prize
