King,

Would you like to borrow my copy of "America's Retreat From Victory"? laugh

Or, would you prefer: "A People's Tragedy, The Russian Revolution 1891-1924" by Orlando Figes?

Or, my copy of "The Gulag Archipelago"?...

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
