Burning Down the Haus

Book Review: "Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution and the Fall of the Berlin Wall"

The story of East German punk rock is about much more than music; it is a story of extraordinary bravery in the face of one of the most oppressive regimes in history. Rollicking, cinematic, deeply
researched, highly readable and thrillingly topical, Burning Down the Haus brings to life the young men and women who successfully fought authoritarianism three chords at a time—and is a fiery testament to the irrepressible spirit of resistance.
