Though there are a few historical mistakes. For example the; the poster "Women Workers; take up your Rifles" is given the wrong date; in the book is is credited to 1914; in actuality it is from 1918 and was part of the early Bolshevik prints of the early Civil War period of Russia.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
