A hilarious and scary look at 1980's world politics. D.M. Thomas, author of the acclaimed White Hotel and Flying into Love here turns his attention to the tense, serious world of international politics, and compleatly makes a mockery of it. The book centers on the Summits held in the 1980's between the leaders of the USSR and the USA, who are thinly veiled characatures of Reagan and Gorbrechev. The novel has little positive to say about either of them, and generaly terrifies the reader who thinks that all summits run as this one does. Thomas's book is insightful, readable, and absolutly laugh out loud funny. It is quite possible, in fact, that this is the funniest book I have ever read. It is short, you can read it in one sitting, and you will have a fantastic time doing it. I highly sugest you read this book. See also:
