CONQUEST, Robert.
A World of Difference.
London, Ward, Lock and Co. Limited, 1955.
Though best known for his academic work revealing the extent of Stalin's terror campaign, and his literary friendships with Larkin and Amis, Conquest was also a science fiction fan and had been a member of the Interplanetary Society since the 1940s. Together with Amis he edited the sci-fi anthology Spectrum, and the two also co-authored a novel, The Egyptologists (1965) (Guardian obituary August 5, 2015). The present novel, on government mind control, was surely inspired by Conquest's work on the Soviet Union.
First edition; 8vo; top edge of text block darkened, a few tiny spots to the other edges of the text block, partial toning to free endpapers; original black cloth, titles to spine in cream, a very good copy in the rubbed, toned, and creased jacket with some small chips and short splits; 192 pp.
