Books like The Mouse That Roared

"There's only one method of getting money from another nation that is recognized by tradition as honorable," Tully said, solemnly."What is it?" asked the Duchess . . ."War," he said."War!" echoed Gloriana, in astonishment."War," repeated Tully. "We could declare war on the United States."The tiny Duchy of Grand Fenwick is hurting for money. Their plan is to start a war with the U.S., lose, and then receive some subsidy from the American government.So, here they come to sort-of-conquer us, twenty-three warriors, armed with long bows, spears, and maces. And, strange as it may seem, their cockamamie declaration of war may accidentally lead to lasting peace.This was one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. I've never seen the movie, but Peter Sellers playing three roles? I am SO there!
