Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall - Paperback
A riveting history of punk in Germany behind the iron curtain in the 1970s and 1980s. Radio waves brought the sounds of the Sex Pistols over the Berlin Wall; for teens who chafed at authoritarian rule, it sparked a revolutionary movement. As they began to form bands, they were targeted by the police, spied on by friends and family, expelled, fired, beaten, and imprisoned. But the punks fought back, and played a pivotal role in the underground movement that helped bring down the Wall. Based on research and interviews, this book captures the immediacy, danger, and thrill of these times, and the lasting impact of a musical movement that changed the world.(This book may contain a small, black sharpie mark on the bottom edge, so that it can't be returned to a different wholesaler.)
