Its all here: the swinging sixties the birth of the British beat boom that conquered the world the heady days of sex drugs and rock n roll through to the 70s where rock stars sparkled new wave garage bands preached anarchy and football violence escalated out of control. Relive the music the fashion the football gangs mods and rockers hippies hells angels skinheads glam-rockers and punks that shaped these amazing decades.Dont read this book if you arent prepared to remove your rose-tinted glasses or if you look back at the last century as the good old days when none of todays problems existed. Ronnie Sharpe does not do sugar-coating!
