His English mistress, Jane, is blindly unaware of any possible consequences of her actions. Roche and Jane are drawn into a fatal connection with a young guerrilla leader named Jimmy Ahmed. Against the larger anguish of the world they inhabit, these three act out a drama of death, hideous sexual violence, and political and spiritual impotence that profoundly reflects the ravages history can make on human lives.

In this poignant and historically revealing book, rare and previously unpublished archive material, including cartoons, caricatures, photographs, and oral transcripts take the reader on a unique journey through the real experience of the Communist era. 25+ B&W illustrations throughout.

Unlike professional war correspondents, Private Fisk had no access to rank or headquarters. Instead, he wrote of life as a private-as one of the foot soldiers who slept in the mud and obeyed orders no matter how incomprehensible. Clean copy. Record # 34205
