{"product_id":"9781469120911","title":"The Stalinist Becomes Bogomil","description":"At war´s end, will there be a Communist revolution in Italy (and France)?       This is the question impinging on the very life, the dream and lethal conspiracy of a (French-Canadian) American visionary serving in the American Army in Italy in the closing days of  World War II...and the opening days of the Cold War.     He does not suspect another question: Has Stalin exerted himself to block such a revolution? Could the victorious Yugoslavs and the insurgent Greeks be defying Stalin?    His dream: The revolutionary unification of Europe, an intellectuals´ Europe secure from war, resurgent in power and culture.   *A paean to internationalist-inspired high treason as well as a  cautionary tale against it. *A metaphor of a spiritual ordeal not only transfixing the epoch of the Cold War, but in different guises our own as well. *Passionate, heroic, brooding, romantic, sinister, threatening, poignant, tender, wildly ribald.  *A national epic for an Italy -- even a Europe...never to be born. Its hero: Jean LeFey, a professorial blend of Captain Ahab, Lenin, and Woody Allen.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129537839344,"sku":"9781469120911","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469120911_p0.jpg?v=1763699060","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469120911","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
