PM or email me with your Bookcrossing name, where you live, and
where your willing to post to. This will be an international ring,
so if you don't want to post abroad, you need to tell me.

Mark Thomas
As Used On The Famous Nelson Mandela

Synopsis
Mark Thomas is one of the UK's most effective and best-known
political activists, as well as being a highly successful stand-up
comedian. His show, "The Mark Thomas Product", ran for six highly
acclaimed series on Channel Four. Amazingly, this is his first
book. "As Used on the Famous Nelson Mandela" is a deeply funny,
deeply disturbing account of Mark's rampage through the arms trade.
Under a fairly flimsy disguise and with the use of some worryingly
poor accents, Mark set off on a journey of discovery in the company
of arms dealers, torture victims, politicians, cops, crusties and
geeks. The result is a shockingly entertaining read. Managed to set
himself up as an arms exporter. His account of his encounters,
adventures and discoveries as he attempted to change the law provide
a shockingly entertaining read. Embedded within the sharpness of his
humour is the truth of an industry fraught with loopholes,
complacency and greed; that allows corrupt regimes to kill, maim and
displace, but whose deals are often subsidised by the British
taxpayer. Hard-hitting, laugh-out-loud funny and extremely
unsettling, "As Used on the Famous Nelson Mandela" is never anything
less than compulsive.
