Scoop, Evelyn Waugh's bestselling comedy of England's newspaper business of the 1930s is the closest thing foreign correspondents have to a bible -- they swear by it. But few readers are acquainted with Waugh's memoir of his stint as a London Daily Mail correspondent in Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) during the Italian invasion in the 1930s. Waugh in Abyssinia is an entertaining account by a cantankerous and unenthusiastic war reporter that provides a fascinating short history of Mussolini's imperial adventure as well as a wickedly witty preview of the characters and follies that figure into Waugh's famous satire. In the forward, veteran foreign correspondent John Maxwell Hamilton explores in how Waugh ended up in Abyssinia, which real-life events were fictionalized in Scoop, and how this memoir fits into Waugh's overall literary career, which includes the classic Brideshead Revisited. As Hamilton explains, Waugh was the right man (a misfit), in the right place (a largely unknown country that lent itself to farcical imagination), at the right time (when the correspondents themselves were more interesting than the scraps of news they could get.) The result, Waugh in Abyssinia, is a memoir like no other.

Didn’t last 2 minutes
Not actually made of corded rope. Instead made with the most fragile materials this misleading, fraudulent company could find. Any potential buyers beware of this long string of tissue paper. I have been duped!!! Duped!!!

Not good value for money
I have ordered this before and as the picture shows it used to be a pack of two. I received my ball and now its just one ball for the same price. I will not order this product again.

Will buy again but softer ball preferred
At first Labradors weren’t into it, but I played with them positively reinforcing all touches and now my service dog LOVES the bigger one! It’s perfect between appointments to give her exercise. Will be looking for the same but with a softer ball. It’s a little too heavy and tough if it were to accidentally bounce off a body part besides their mouth catching it.
