behindthecritic's review against another edition
3.0
I found this in a charity shop and decided to try it out.
This is a really interesting study on mods and rockers during the mid-twentieth century. It discusses media bias and the changing of facts to fit an overall mass hysteria narrative. I found this very informative but repetitive at times. I think the research for this book can be applied to lots of other groups in the UK and how they are presented in the media.
