Join Charlie Green as he launches his first novel! The Shah of Texas is a broad political satire of the Iraq War, the Abu Ghraib scandal, American propaganda, and even novels. Imagine George Orwell’s 1984 and Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove mashed together, with a little bit of Airplane! and Jonathan Swift.
