And Doris Lessing certainly knew what she was talking about although I have no idea how close she ever was to terrorist circles... After all, not all communists were/are terrorists.Edith LaGrazianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885017198423641770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322995747669796194.post-82123999475559316162016-07-09T18:35:45.286+02:002016-07-09T18:35:45.286+02:00Excellent review.

From doing that though, I learned that having spent some time in her early 20s as a communist, she has a good bit of insight into what makes those people tick. As you say, it is good to get inside the minds of terrorists, especially when we live under their threat everyday.Judy Kruegerhttp://keepthewisdom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
