Hi Everyone,
A librarian suggested I post on a book forum to see if I can possibly get the title and/or author of a book my father & I were discussing. He is an avid reader of all types of genre & has been all his life....and, much to my mom's dismay, keeps most of his books! :) Unfortunately, for some odd reason, he can't remember the author or title of this book that he found quite interesting. I don't have much info at all (and don't want to ask him any more about it as I'm really trying to give this book as a surprise Christmas gift). :)
Here's all the info I can relay: We happened to be discussing a comment made back in the summer about someone in Washington & his comment about the right to bear arms. This triggered a memory for him about an interesting book he read when he was younger (maybe around 1960-1962ish) about a Russian gentleman who was deep into the Communist party and apparently got out of it & wrote a book about how it's easier to take over a country & make it Communist versus trying to convert your own country. And apparently one thing in the book was how the first thing you did was take away their ability to bear arms....and thus the correlation between the book & this politician wanting to take away that right. My dad re-reads books that he really likes and he said he was so disappointed that he couldn't remember the author or title....so this would be a WONDERFUL gift for him!
That's it...that's all I've got. :( So if any of you have any ideas or even suggestions on another place or forum I should try please let me know. I greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much!
