Description
The Day the Country Died features author, historian, and musician Ian Glasper (Burning Britain) exploring in minute detail the influential, esoteric, UK anarcho punk scene of the early Eighties.
If the colourful '80s punk bands captured in Burning Britain were loud, political, and uncompromising, those examined in The Day the Country Died were even more so, totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the ideals they believed in so passionately.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics praise The Day the Country Died for its lucid participant perspectives that reveal the movement’s diversity within its militant antiwar and anti-system stance. Rich Cross highlights the nuanced variety in activists' priorities often missed by outsiders, while Dave Faulds notes the book’s success in capturing punk's DIY ethos and aggressive response to Thatcher-era Britain, featuring iconic bands such as Crass and Conflict. Glasper’s thorough and democratic approach allows voices from across the scene to be heard.
