Champagne and meatballs : adventures of a Canadian communist

Whyte, Bert 1909-1984 (Author). Hannant, Larry, 1950- (Added Author).

Summary: "In this memoir, written not long before his death in Moscow in 1984, we meet a cigar-smoking rogue who was at least as happy at a pool hall as at a political meeting. His stories of bumming across Canada in the 1930s, of combat and camaraderie at the front lines in World War II, and of surviving as a dissident in troubled times make for compelling reading." --back cover
