Review Copy

Oliver Kamm's latest book is reviewed in the newspaper for which he writes, although not, of course, anywhere else. The extremely young reviewer, one Stuart Ritchie, has presumably praised it to the skies, since he will have been warned about Kamm's ongoing vendetta against Neil Clark, a vendetta that Kamm has been pursuing for almost the whole of Ritchie's life.

Kamm is the failed author of a cranky and unqualified book on foreign policy that no one reads anymore, of a cranky and unqualified book on linguistics that no one ever has read, and of a cranky and unqualified book on psychiatry that no one is ever going to read. His column appears in an 89-year-old's unprofitable vanity publication, which alone has reviewed his latest book.
