    About this ebook

    Of all the straight talking bands thrown up in the Seventies punk explosion, none talked straighter than The Clash. Fiercely proud of their rebel status, Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon rarely wavered in their commitment to spreading a message of social justice through their music. Here’s what they said at the time, and after it was over.

    Author Nick Johnstone presents The Clash, in their own words...
