A British Neo-Bolshevik punk-rock band active in the 1970s and 80s. Extremist revolutionary lyrics ultimately made the band an outcast in the mainstream music scene, and they became instead one of the founders of the 'Rock Against Fascism' sub-genre, which briefly flourished in Britain despite (or perhaps because of) the UK's part in the WWII defeat of the Comintern. Thought to have at least in part inspired the Dead Kennedys single, "Commie Punks Fuck Off"
The Red Napoleon
Adolf Polz's novel about "Joseph Stalin", a fictional radical communist captain commanding his super hydrogen-powered submarine in a terrible struggle against the samurais of a fiercely imperialistic Japanese empire.
It's quite fun, actually, "Stalin" being a Georgian in Russian service, is clearly inspired by Napoleon's role in the British Navy, the submarine is a lovely mad work of crazy science straight out of "La Mécanique Populaire"'s pages, while the war between the fictional countries of the "United Soviets" and the "Empire of the cherry blossom" provides a good backdrop for the captain's adventures and hyjinks.
Is it pulpy? Yes, and at times even a little trashy, but it's also lots of fun, and according to the author fun to write too, so we will probably see more like this from him in the future.
Murat and Massena's excellent adventure
