British Pound
Product Description
An alternative history, ( presented as a dystopian vision of a mid 1960's Britain) first published in 1960, in which a nuclear disarmament campaign and Labour electoral victory lead to the Soviets taking over Britain. It was written by a somewhat eccentric aristocrat with a intermittently histrionic warning tone. Although it could easily have been tediously reactionary alarmist nonsense, this is not the case. I found it to be a fast-paced and exciting thriller, which juggled many characters adeptly and captured the essentially chaotic nature of international affairs.
Oddly, the role of Russian interference in UK politics has become somewhat more relevant in the last few years...
