From October 1917 to Ethiopia 1990, via Afghanistan and Nicaragua, this is a careful record that may come as a shock but is indeed a must read for anybody serious about fighting one of the most criminal utopia and its modern extensions, including the most unexpected (really?) ones -- I'd love to know, for instance, what were the Palestinians doing alongside the Cubans, the East Germans and the Bulgarians, deporting populations for the Sandinistas in Nicaragua between 1982 and 1987 -- This book is definitely one of my bedtime/all time readings. 10215@blogcritics.org Fri, 30 May 2003 08:55:19 EDT
