Interview with Michael Cooper
This week on Crime Wave: Michael Cooper joins me to talk about WAGES OF EMPIRE, a spellbinding WWI adventure. In the summer of 1914, Evan Sinclair is sixteen, living in Utah, and determined to join the war effort as a member of the British Expeditionary Force. He sneaks away from his family and makes it all the way to France, where he sees firsthand the horrors of war.
But this is not merely Evan’s coming-of-age story; WAGES OF EMPIRE is a panoramic view of the opening days of WWI, weaving in scenes of real historical figures and the issues they encounter—chief among them Kaiser Wilhelm and the struggle for control of Palestine.
Although WAGES OF EMPIRE focuses on events in the Holy Land a hundred years ago, it is eerily relevant to our time.
