It is the story of American Army lieutenant Philip Nolan, who renounces his country during a trial for treason, and is consequently sentenced to spend the rest of his days at sea without so much as a word of news about the United States. Hale skillfully convinced many readers that Nolan was an actual figure, thus increasing the story's effectiveness as a piece of patriotic literature. He achieved this realism through verisimilitude. By frequently mentioning specific dates and places and using numerous contemporary references, Hale grounds his story in a firm foundation of history and makes the story seem like a record of actual events.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blurb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45135216738455,"sku":"9781715628758","price":1516.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781715628758.webp?v=1767652996","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-man-without-a-country-esprios-classics-9781715628758","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
