Title: God's Favorite
Subtitle: A Novel
Description: "Lawrence Wright captures all the drama and black humor of Panama during the final, nerve-racking days of its legendary dictator, Manuel Antonio Noriega.".

"Drawn from a historical record more dramatic than even the most artful spy novel, God's Favorite is a darkly comic fictional account of the events that occurred in Panama from 1985 to the dictator's capture in 1989. With a journalist's eye for detail, Lawrence Wright leads the reader toward a dramatic face-off in the Vatican embassy, where Noriega confronts his psychological match in the Papal Nuncio."--BOOK JACKET.
