Denied an officer's commission because of his skin color, he fights in World War II as a sergeant in Burma, only to return home to a country unraveling. Recruited to infiltrate the Mau Mau, Simon is forced into moral compromises that culminate in an unforgivable act-one that will haunt him long after the rebellion is crushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs political expediency turns him into a scapegoat, Simon's trial exposes how race, loyalty, and power collide within the machinery of empire. Into the Lion's Den is a haunting exploration of identity, betrayal, and the devastating cost of survival when history demands a pawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46361748177031,"sku":"9798950078866","price":35.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/VOk3GYIELN9798950078866.webp?v=1793289025","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/into-the-lions-den-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
