'Moscow Gold? The Soviet Union and the British left by Paul Anderson and Kevin Davey is a fine little book you can read in a day – 168 pages for just £3.50 on Kindle. Anderson and Davey have taken advantage of the vast amount of research into communism since the end of the Cold War. They wear it lightly, and refreshingly, are open about their political position. As members of the democratic left, they believe that communism was a disaster for left wing politics. It tied the left to tyranny and the lies and disillusion that went with it.'
Probably because it's not a very interesting topic.
ReplyDeleteApart from a few ancient anoraks (see your blogroll), who cares about this stuff any more?
I retract my earlier comment. I thought those numbers (8, 11, 12) represented your total sales in various categories.
ReplyDeleteClearly there is a new generation of Trotspotters eager to get their hands on your fine little treatise.
Were you inebriated or over-excited when you circled the Amazon ranking?
ReplyDeleteNeither: I was using my pen mouse. But I'm only now learning how to use it. I think it looks OK, a "rag-out" as is was once called.
