No Future : Punk, Politics and British Youth Culture, 1976-1984

The book is at its best when it puts punk in the historical and political context and goes deeper in explaining it (especially for someone who doesn’t know about British history in that time-period). What makes it dull at times is the need to enumerate (all the tracks, bands, clubs...) that deal with certain topic, instead of holding to fewer (tracks, bands, clubs...) and writing a story. Being less Cambridge University Press and more Faber & Faber would make it a much more enjoyable read, though this might not be something to expect from a Professor of Modern History (author of the book)
