[QUOTE="Mercutio01, post: 4877145, member: 37277"] What politics? No, really? A man on the losing side of the civil war gets sent into the past of Martian history where he encounters more war and is forced to survive in a literally alien world based on his own skills. He finds races of men in a continuous war, finds the most gorgeous girl in the universe and sets off on an adventure to rescue her from a race of giant green bug-men with four arms. 1. You obviously haven't really read this book because Dejah Thoris is hardly a prize to be taken by the victor. She has just as much guts and gumption as John Carter. 2. No race is killed by any other race because they are "lesser," EXCEPT the white race which does kill all the other races because the Therns think they are superior. Indeed, they are the ultimate villains on Barsoom. Where does this idea come from? Certainly not from Edgar Rice Burroughs "A Princess of Mars" which was written before the Communist threat even existed and was serially published in 1912. [/QUOTE]
