Richard Thomas Condon was an American political novelist, born on 18 March 1915 and died on 9 April 1996. Though his works were satire, they were generally transformed into thrillers or semi-thrillers in other media, such as cinema. All twenty-six of his books were written in a distinctive style that combined a fast pace, outrage and frequent humor while focusing almost obsessively on monetary greed and political corruption. He is primarily remembered for his 1959 novel The Manchurian Candidate.
