'A fascinating history of pop's relationship with politics, examining the establishment's skill at assimilating rock'n'roll rebellion into the mainstream.' Independent

Between 1965 and 1972, political activists around the globe prepared to mount a revolution, from the Black Panthers to the Gay Liberation Front, from the Yippies to the IRA. Rock and soul music supplied the revolutionary tide with anthems and iconic imagery, and renowned musicians such as John Lennon, Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan were particularly influential in the movement. This is the definitive account of this unique period in modern history; a compelling portrait of an era when revolutionaries turned into rock stars, and rock stars dressed up as revolutionaries.

'Meticulously researched, scholarly and often gripping.' Sunday Telegraph

'Needs to be read by anyone who wants to understand the significance of the '60s or the role of pop culture. It is a very important book.' Mark Kurlansky, author of 1968

'A fresh and near-definitive slant on a subject you might have thought had been picked clean by journalists and historians.' Time Out

'Essential for anyone who believes that art, sociology and politics are inextricably linked.' The Times

'A treasure trove of counter-cultural anecdotes and reportage.' New Statesman
