Some great stuff here, lots of it out of print. I especially like The Last Crusade, which was written in 1954, but makes a great comment on how extreme political leanings all look the same. With a war between the Peoples Federal Democratic Eastern Republics and the Western Democratic Peoples Federal Republics, both sides are pretty much identical, fighting for "freedom" on French soil. The sarcasm was valid then and holds up now.
This antho's a good way to add several little known but excellent stories to your library.
