A classic cricket book republished for a new generation
My chat with Peter Oborne and Richard Heller, on their cricket-themed podcast, about 81allout Publishing – which I co-founded with my friend Mahesh Sethuraman – and the republication of a classic work of cricket literature - Mike Marqusee’s War Minus The Shooting.
We discuss Marqusee’s place in the radical pantheon of great cricket writers alongside CLR James, another Marxist, and the eccentric anarchistic Major Rowland Bowen.
I also explained the origins of my publishing house and podcast, 81 allout, named for a famous Indian batting disaster from 1997.
