A History Maker

<p>A tale of border warfare, military and erotic, set in the twenty-third century, where the women rule the kingdom and the men play war games. <br><br>This is the fictional memoir of Wat Dryhope - edited, annotated and commented upon. History has come to an end, war is regulated as if it''s all a game. But Wat, the History Maker himself, does not play entirely by the rules, and when a woman, Delilah Puddock, joins the fray, this ''utopian'' history is further enlivened. <br><br>Alasdair Gray cleverly plays with the notion and writing of history, as well as perennial modern debates on war, sexism and society - entertaining and thought-provoking, this is a delightful satire illustrated throughout by the author.</p>
