Never Shake Hands with a War Criminal

A personal and political history told with acid humour and a loving heart. Barry Crimmins, a writer and commentator on Air America Radio, travels from a sceptical childhood in frozen upstate New York, through the founding of the Boston comedy scene, to a career as a satirist and activist. No villain is spared, no hero is forgotten. Crimmins also cuts a hilarious swath through our political tormentors, in the spirit of Mark Twain, Will Rogers and lenny Bruce.
