Aaargh! Press was set up by cultural revolutionaries to transform the world – one word at a time. 

Actually, it’s an alternative press just like all alternative presses – but we’re trying to do it with the technology of the age. We’re unashamed libertarian socialists, but most of all we want ideas to come out to play.

New Moscow Gold? out soon

 
The second paperback edition of Moscow Gold? The Soviet Union and the British left by Paul Anderson and Kevin Davey has sold out — so we’re printing more (revised again) for the centenary of the Bolshevik revolution. It will be available from Amazon here for just £9.99.

The paperback includes comprehensive footnotes and an index, neither of which appear in the Kindle e-book. And the new edition includes a new chapter on the British Leninist left today and its relationship with Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party. You can still get the first edition e-book on Amazon.
 
 
 

Latest titles

 
Shots From the Hip by Charles Shaar Murray is now an Aaaargh! Press Kindle e-book. It’s available from Amazon here.

First published in 1991, it is a collection of Murray’s legendary journalism on music and much, much more from the 1970s and 1980s in New Musical Express and elsewhere. The Guardian described Murray as ‘one of the best British writers on pop music, and this is a compilation of HIS best’ – and it’s published here with a new introduction by Joel Nathan Rosen and a new afterword by CSM himself.

 

 

Moscow Gold? The Soviet Union and the British left by Paul Anderson and Kevin Davey is available as a Kindle e-book here and will soon be in paperback here again.

‘A fine little book you can read in a day. 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.’
