THEN: Once upon a time in south London, three young men without a future decide to invent their own. The Sixties are starting to swing and Jimmy, John and Billy want it all: the clothes, the pills, the music and the women. Through drugs, protection and armed robbery, they start building their crime empire; everything they've always dreamed about is within their grasp. But then Billy changes sides and becomes a cop...and finds that his days are numbered. NOW: Billy's son, Mark, is working for John Jenner and waiting for the day when his father's killer gets out of prison. It's any time now and Mark is determined to be there when the doors swing open. An epic novel spanning forty years of love, life and villainy, Guns of Brixton is a major tour de force from an author at the peak of his powers.

"A broad range of cultural strands come together in the melting pot and form a delicious stew of criminal adventure... The observations are sharp, and the characters create small nuclear explosions as they collide with each other." - Nigel Bird, author of Let It Snow. "The brilliantly named characters, crackling dialogue and dark humour jump out." - Keith Nixon, author of the Solomon Gray novels. "A non-stop, black-comedy, noir thriller that rockets along at a terrific pace." - Mark West, author of Don`t Go Back. A foul-mouthed, violently comic crime caper, full of gaudy characters and dialogue sharp enough to shave with. When a London gangster gives a couple of aging thugs the simple task of collecting a briefcase from a northern courier, he doesn't suspect that the courier will end up dead in his lock-up, or that the ageing thugs will then dress up in drag to rob a jeweller's shop and lose the coveted briefcase. A fast-moving, wild, and hilarious search for the missing briefcase quickly ensues, with funny and fatal consequences. Guns Of Brixton - Double Barrel combines all new versions of the novellas Guns of Brixton and Cold London Blues in one violent and bawdy collection.

Det här är boken om och av The Clash, världens bästa punkrockband. Här berättas hela historien om fyra killar från »Ladbroke Grove, London w10«, som skrev om rockhistorien under sju omtumlande år 19761983. The Clash var en svamp som sög åt sig samtiden och spottade ur sig låtar där varje textrad var på liv och död. De hade integritet nog att blanda rocknroll & punk med reggae & dub; vit musik med svart. The Clash var solidariska internationalister med bultande hjärtan och samtidigt det snyggaste band världen skådat. De var trendsättare, revolutionärer - och deras legendstatus har aldrig falnat. Strummer, Jones, Simonon & Headon - var för sig berättar de här sin egen version av vad som hände; från uppväxten till bildandet av The Clash, om spelningarna, om relationerna inom bandet, till fansen, pressen och andra band. Och, inte minst, hur låtarna kom till. Det här är den första Clash-boken som medlemmarna själva varit med och skapat. Materialet är hämtat ur deras privata samlingar och boken är rikt illustrerad med unika bilder av bandet både på och bakom scen, såväl som turnéaffischer, konsertbiljetter och kuriosa. »Mitt liv förändrades den sekunden dom gick upp på scen för evigt.« THÅSTRÖM »Ett av Englands bästa band någonsin.« NICK HORNBY, författare till bland annatHigh Fidelity och Om en pojke »En enorm inspirationskälla för mig.« BERNARD SUMNER, Joy Division & New Order »Alla fyra bidrar till berättelsen, men gång på gång är det Joe Strummers röst som sticker ut. Om en låt inspirerad av en filmreplik säger han att det var som att hålla i ena änden av en tråd som var fäst i en sång och när det börjar gå utför med The Clash beskriver han Jones som Elizabeth Taylor på uselt humör« NEW YORK TIMES

In 2001 Andrew Anthony occupied a comfortable position within the liberal left media. A successful Observer and Guardian journalist, he believed he was on the right side of the argument - the left side. But after the events of 11 September, he noticed that many colleagues and friends seemed determined to understand the perpetrator rather than support the victim. America, in their view, had it coming. In rejecting that analysis, Anthony set out on the painful process of unpicking the prejudices that had come to shape progressive, liberal and wider public opinion. The Fallout is a polemical memoir, an account of Anthony's political education in Thatcher's Britain and his stark mid-life reassessment. It's a book about crime and violence, liberty and society, principles and practice, and about vital questions that no longer match their received answers.

When considered in a broader social context, The Clash stand as one of the most important musical acts in rock history. Original punks who transcended the music’s minimalist origins, The Clash lived and breathed the idea that they could change the world with their art. In The Clash: The Only Band That Mattered,respected music critic Sean Egan examines The Clash’s career and art through the prism of the uniquely interesting and fractious UK politics of the 1970s and ’80s, without which they simply would not have existed. Tackling such subjects as The Clash’s self-conscious tussles with their record label, the accusations of selling out that dogged their footsteps, their rivalry with the similarly leaning but less purist Jam, the paradoxical quality of their achieving multiplatinum success, and even whether their denunciations of Thatcherism were proven wrong, Egan has come up with new insights into a much discussed group. Clash fans, Clash haters, social historians, and political students will all find themselves entertained by his thought-provoking conclusions.

In 1996, in the middle of watching an ill-tempered football match between England and Germany, Philip Oltermann's parents tell him that they are going to leave their home city Hamburg behind and move to London. Inspired by his own experience of both countries, Philip Oltermann looks at eight historical encounters between English and German people from the last two hundred years: Helmut Kohl tries to explain German cuisine to the Iron Lady, the Mini plays catch-up with the Volkswagen Beetle, and Joe Strummer has an unlikely brush with the Baader-Meinhof gang. Keeping Up with the Germans is a witty look at the lighter-side of Anglo-German relations over the last 100 years.
