I do love the book and I am off to finish more. I hope I am not nit picking. I just find it hard to read things that are not accurate. I hope I have not offended anyone and maybe someone has already found out about the errors. Again fabulous book and thanks for your response.

The year is 1987 and in a few months the wall is suppose to come down. Actually this was Nov. 9, 1989.
I thought if the publisher new this they could change it in future publications. Thanks for you help.

It could be typo about 1987. The Bolshevik revolution (armed struggle) did start in 1905 but the movement did not consolidate until a few years later culminating in 1917 with the raise to power of Lenin and his cohorts. I will have the other detail checked. Thanks!

Edit: The passage mentions that by '87 the Easter Block had begun to crumble and few months later (some 18 months or so) the wall came down in the fall of '89 not that the wall itself came down in '87. Check the passage.
