Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 96: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Part 1)

Update: 2024-08-21

Description

Part 1 of 3 of my review of THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS, one of Heinlein's most famous and well-regarded books. Often billed a libertarian novel, is it better to look at it as anti-colonial? Can it be both?
