Imagine making light of the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the Russian Revolution and Stalin’s bloody purges. Well, more than 60 years ago Richard Armour not only imagined it but wrote a book about it - all these years later, it remains a funny and, oddly enough, educational book. In this safari into satire and the wilds of the half truth and the truth and a half, Armour romps through Communism from beginning to end, or as near the end as it was at the time of writing. With prize specimens like Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, and Khrushchev to operate on, Doctor Armour dissects the Comrades with glee and a sharp pen.
All items have been cleaned with a disinfectant solution for your protection. Can be picked up from HILLARYS (any time) OR NOLLAMARA (school terms). If you require postage, please send me your postcode. To see all my current listings, please click on my name: Riverdancer.
