Koba the Dread: Laughter and the Twenty Million by Martin Amis - Textbook - First Edition - 2002 - from Cadron Books and Biblio.com

Note: Cover may not represent actual copy or condition available

Book summary

Martin Amis considers 20th-century politics in this meditation on the history of the left in England--a faction that included his father, Kingsley, until he changed his views in the mid-1960s; Martin Amis includes the last letter he wrote to his father, which questions the value of the communist ideal. He also offers some controversial opinions, among them that Stalinism was worse than Nazism because it was more widespread and exportable.

Media reviews

"Meritorious addition to the bulging shelf of apologia by writers on the noncommunist English left, worth reading by anyone interested in exploring the dark recesses of the recent past."
