'A massive inspiration for me.' Bernard Sumner, Joy Division and New Order 
'I adore The Clash.' Pete Townshend, The Who
'One of England's greatest bands.' Nick Hornby 

‘What could be more fun than a book about The Clash written by The Clash - What makes this tome more worthy than the reams of unofficial Clash literature available is that in it, the band tells their story in their own words - it's packed with little secrets and playful digs - Brilliant.' Short List 

'Thrilling - This is a treasure trove of hitherto undiscovered gems. Long overdue.' Classic Rock '

'This book is a cracker - crammed with Clash bits and bobs.' The Sunday Times
