Imperialism, Cannibalism, and the Cold War: A Feast of Freedom,
By I pay by the `good read', not by the pound, and Leonard Wibberly, author of "The Mouse that Roared," which was turned into an outstanding comic film starring Peter Sellers, could make a reader laugh. "Feast" is a sweet little satire which ultimately pits the United States against Omo Levi, a little island nation (consisting of two islands) recently released by the British at US urging during a secret meeting, so that the island nation's new found freedom came be used as a bargaining chip in a Cold War gambit against the USSR. One: The people of Omo Levi liked being a colony, being on their own brings about a major reality check. Two: To solved the problem the island people petition the US to become a US colony and failing that--a state. You see all the wonderful problems here? The read is fast and a good number of chuckles are provided. The writing is streamlined, with no extraneous anything. Yes, the book is dated--the USSR isn't around anymore, for one. Also for entertainment purposes and general consumption, some cannibalism is thrown in, along with some primitive religion. You're just going to love this.

A Feast of Freedom,
By
This review is from: Feast of Freedom (Hardcover)
I read this book when it first appeared and enjoyed it at that time. I wanted my grown up children to read it as it concerns a very topical subject.
