This is Steve Ignorant's autobiography rather than a book about Crass. As such it is split into 3 sections: BC (Before Crass - 113 pages), DC (During Crass - 74 pages) and AC (After Crass - 110 pages). Though most people (myself included) would initially want the DC section to be longer, after reading the book I think that Steve got it right. In a way the AC section is the most interesting as Steve explains how he coped after the end of Crass.

I loved this book. It was great to read detailed accounts of all the old CRASS gigs. Steve Ignorant played in Dublin two years ago, so I went to see him in a book shop when he was talking about this book and the history of CRASS. And of courses I went to see him play that night, what an amazing gig!

This is not just a honest and gritty journey through the revolutions of Punk and Crass et al. Its also a first class tale capturing the feeling of the pure desolation of the no-hope horizon offered to a working class child in 60's/70's Dagenham and the yearning for more than a xerox copy of their parents' life sentence. Not a desire for status or money but just to be yourself and the endless hard graft to do that. Inspiring.
