I'll field this one.
This is a reference to an extremely popular book by Leonard Wibberly. It was
turned into a movie with Peter Sellers as well.

>From the reviews on Amazon:
"The Mouse that Roared' is a brilliant book filled with charm and wit. It
portrays an imaginary tiny country wedged in between other countries in
Europe and often forgotten because of it's size. When their only source of
external revenue is threatened by company in the US, and their demands
ignored, they go to war with the United States and win before the US realizes
thay are at war! the Cold war humor is quite enjoyable, and the message this
book presents is one of "You can conquer anything if you have enough of the
right intention". The ultimate 'underdog' and 'little guy becomes the hero'
story if there ever was one. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this
book is. It will make you roll you eyes at times, and cause you to squirm
with embarrassment for the characters and also laugh aloud. In the end you
will find yourself cheering. It is probably one of the most important books
in political satire ever written, and should be required reading for all who
seek positions of power in our modern society. You will enjoy and remember
this one a long, long time. The wisdom is timeless.
