"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!

http://yearningtoread.blogspot.com/Grand Fenwick is a little known country near France, a small duchy that has flourished for centuries because of their popular wine company. Recently, however, the wine business has failed to bring in enough money to live on. There are those who wish to dilute the wine, and others who are against this notion. Both parties continue to argue over the outcome until a grand scheme is devised: small, itty bitty Grand Fenwick will declare war on the U.S. - attack,

I found a copy of this in the local library, and having seen the Peter Sellers movie, I had to read it.This was, I understand, originally serialized in a magazine, and it has that feel to it. It's not a deep book, but has many warm and funny moments, and written at a quick pace with a fantastic premise that, seen in 1954 (when it was written), is so silly that it is believable. I liked the depiction of Grand Fenwick, which you didn't see in the film. It was a very likable and believable country,

Having only dimly remembered seeing the movie long long ago, and having never read anything by Wibberley other than Encounter near Venus, a strange H.G. Wells ripoff-I-mean-tribute, for children (now an out-of-print rarity), which haunted me after I read it in grade school, I was surprised at how genuinely witty it is. I may pick up some of the other "Mouse" novels if I come across them.

The Mouse that Roared by Leonard Wibberley is a satirical novel about the Cold War. The plot centers on the fictional country of Grand Fenwick and the exploits of its inhabitants. In the story, Grand Fenwick is the worlds smallest country. Yet, through the actions of a few devoted citizens it wins a war against the United States, captures the worlds most powerful weapon, and eventually brings an end to the Cold War. This book has several important attributes that make it enjoyable. First, is

Technically this is a reread but it's been so long...I read this years ago, when in hs. It was in the library and the cover caught my eye. I'd mostly forgotten about it though until several years ago while poking around a UBS, I stumbled across a sequel. I debated about it for months before finally getting it (amazingly enough, it was still there), but it was another year or three before I found *this* one. I have yet to see the other two books in the series.So what's it about? Oh, a tiny nation

A tiny European principality, no bigger than some moderate farms, feels slighted by the marketing strategy of an American vinter, invades New York and defeats the Unites States at the height of the Cold War.The story is so absurd that it can't be anything but a brilliant political satire. Written in 1955 it uses the general madness of nuclear deterrent, global fiscal policies and the political uncertainties and moral certainties which haunted the world at that time to deliver a scathing as well
