Imagine that the Crimea, instead of being a peninsula in the Black Sea, is an island. And imageine that island as a capitalist playground with sleek architecture, more cars than people, and every kind of luxury - a thorn in the side of the USSR in much the same way that Taiwan is an irritant for Communist China.......a rollicking, suspenseful story of intrigue and romance that is also a cautionary tale about the USSR and the fate of the West." Translated from the Russian by Michael Henry Heim.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
