The Birth of the People's Republic of Antarctica by John Calvin Batchelor Book

Book has staining as seen in the pictures. As civilization teeters on collapse and national boundaries are closed with governments doing nothing more than annoucing "Traspassers Will Be Shot!," a group of disaffected malcontents who had lived on the fringe even in the good times undertake a voyage to escape a glorious socialism that excludes all but a select few from benefits. What begins as a voyage of salvation rapidly becomes a journey rivaling Dante's descent in to Hell. The group - idealistic anarchists who are joined by extended family members and an egomanic opportunist in the guise of "the clear thinker," sail from from Sweden west and south, eventually arriving in Antarctica. The trip sees them pass through the Baltic, the English Channel and out into the Atlantic. Along the way, they are assailed by various forces and threats.
