I finally read the book that gave us "big brother"; this is one of several that depict "negative utopias". I did see a couple of the plot twists coming, but some of them were complete surprises. The other two books that also depict "negative utopias" are "We" and "Brave New World", which I have and will read soon.

Not very well written, but if you love animals and saving homeless animals, you will love reading about the experiences of the people who created this sanctuary.

I have read a great deal of material about the 1939-1940 Soviet-Finnish War in Russian on the Internet, but not a single-volume popular English-language history book about this war. This is such a book. It talks in detail about how the prewar negotiations broke down; why the Soviets did not understand that their conditions were unacceptable to the Finns; the action on each front during the first period of the war, which the Finns, amazingly, won, despite having a much smaller army and few arms compared to the Soviets; how the Soviets learned from their mistakes, and won the war during the second period. One chapter discusses Otto Kuusinen's puppet government of "People's Finland", which promised an eight-hour day to the Finnish workers, something they had already enjoyed for twenty five years, and the breakup of landed estates to the Finnish peasants, even though there were only a few hundred landholdings over 300 acres in all of Finland; I think this is an example of a person being blinded by his ideology. Another talks about the outside world's reaction to the war, including Britain's and France's plans for intervening in it. If they had, and the Red Army ended up fighting the British and French armies, this would effectively mean the Soviet Union entering World War II on the side of the Axis; the consequences of this for the world would be too terrible to contemplate; fortunately, the Soviet-Finnish war ended before this could take place. The author learned Finnish, spent a year in Finland, and read a great deal of primary source materials while there; he does not use any Soviet sources except Khrushchev's memoirs. Trotter is very sympathetic to the Finns; his tone sometimes reminded me of Tom Clancy's books about the US Army. In the last chapter he says that "modern Finnish historians" estimate the Soviet casualties as 230 to 270 thousand dead and another 200 to 300 thousand wounded; General Krivosheev's book about Russia's military losses in twentieth-century wars gives much smaller numbers: 71 thousand killed in action, 16 thousand dead of wounds, 39 thousand missing in action, 189 thousand wounded. The last chapter also discusses Finland's participation in World War II. Finland's part in the Siege of Leningrad is not mentioned, and neither is the fact of the Finns almost reaching the Murmansk railroad, through which lend-lease went from the Western Allies to the Soviet Union. The Finnish occupation of East Karelia is mentioned, and the fact that its population did not welcome the Finns as liberators is blamed upon the "massive resettlement programs carried out by Stalin in the 1930s" and not upon them being foreign occupiers who set up concentration camps.

The story and art in here are pretty hit-or-miss. The lengths of the stories are all sort of wrong--the short ones are too short to get interesting, and the long ones were too stretched out. Only "Invaders from the Fourth Dimension" really manages to have a cool premise, solid art, and a fitting length. But the book would still be a 3/5 if it didn't fall apart halfway through reading it. That really adds a touch of annoyance.

A portrait of a man, an age, and a place. This book is a beautiful recounting of fearless struggle and triumph. It's been years since I've cracked it open, due mainly to serially loaning it out, but I hope to reacquaint myself with it soon.

Great story and told well. Certainly lives up to the hype. Impressive to me that it was written by a man.
