The Moon is a Harsh Mistress- Robert Anson Heinlein
This is a story with all the grandeur of revolution and Nationbuilding! Originally publishedin 1965 and 1966 in a short version in "Worlds of If" Magazine. The edition I have is the Berkely Science fiction release in 1986. The novel is socially experimental and offers many intriguing ideas. I highly recommend this book!

Thanks George for your comment! You are the first! I agree about the Russian help BTW, I didn't understand some of the humor in the dialogue til I was exposed to the russian language myself.....Dasvidanya, droog!
Howard, Heinleins stories hooked me with that same kind of deal, as with the silent mike ending. BTW, Rumour has it that there is a movie treatment on "The Moon Is a Harsh MIstress"! I hope so and also hope they don't mangle it like so many other fine science fiction stories have been! If so, it will be the third Heinlein book to be Movie-ized! The first was "Destination: Moon, based on "Rocket Ship Galileo". You of course know about "Starship Troopers"( They could've done that one better, grumble, mumble!)
