Bash the Fash: Anti-Fascist Recollection 1984-93

"This is literally a no-punches pulled account of Anti Fascist Action's fight against fascism in Britain by a grassroots anarchist member of AFA. It is important, not because he makes any pretence at being a leading light but because the many small (or not so small) contributions such people make are key to the success that AFA achieved
"Written with honesty and a sense of humour, the tale of challenging the fascists for control of the streets - and winning - never descends to political cliché or reads like a pools forecast.
"Obviously, a changed political environment requires different tactics from the anti-fascist movement, but it's equally clear that, if we don't record our recent success (because it is the success of AFA that changed the landscape,) our enemies will write us out of history. Here's an insight into the true story." [back cover]
