Love, Sex and Other Foreign Policy Goals Summary

Love, Sex and Other Foreign Policy Goals: From the Creator of the hit TV-show Succession by Jesse Armstrong

A group of students head into a war zone, armed only with 'the power of theatre' in the first novel from the Emmy-nominated creator of Succession and Peep Show.

It's 1994 and a gang of good-hearted young people set off in a Ford Transit van armed with several sacks of rice and a half-written play. Their aim is to light a beacon of peace across the Balkans and, very probably, stop the war.

Andrew would love to stop the war. But what he'd also love to do - perhaps even more than stop the war - is sleep with Penny. Does Penny like him though? Or does she love Simon, Andrew's rival, an irritatingly authentic Geordie poet? Or Shannon, the fierce, inspiring American leader of the troupe? And how will this all play out in a war-zone where all the rules have been abandoned?

'Original, unabashed and irresistibly funny' Guardian

Love, Sex and Other Foreign Policy Goals Reviews

Within the first few sentences, Love, Sex & Other Foreign Policy Goals had me hooked...combines the best of sitcom-style drama with just the right amount of gravity... Armstrong's debut manages to be clever and fun while also retaining grittiness. I hope this is the first of many. -- Rachael Pells * Independent *
Armstrong at his comic best ... Armstrong's hilarious portrayal of flawed humanity wins it for me. -- Lucy Frith, 4 stars * Stylist *
Original, unabashed and irresistibly funny. -- Zoe Williams * Guardian *
Well-written and full of good gags. -- Sebastian Shakespeare * Tatler *
A truly comic novel. * Esquire *
