Hardback limited edition of Ian Bone’s classic, rabble-rousing tome. Originally, the money from the sales of this edition went solely towards covering the legal costs of producing this book.

In 1984, the Sunday People branded Class War founder Ian Bone ‘the most dangerous man in Britain’. They weren’t far wrong. In Bash The Rich, Ian Bone tells it like it was. From the Angry Brigade to the Free Wales Army, from the 1967 Summer of Love to 1977 anarchy-punk, from Grosvenor Square to the Battle of the Beanfield from the Stop the City riots to the miners’ strike and Bashing the Rich at the Henley Regatta, Ian Bone breaks his silence. But how do David Niven, Keith Allen, Rik Wakeman, Douglas Fairbanks Junior, Cynthia Payne, George Melly and Lofty from EastEnders fit into the story. Why did Gregory Peck send Bone a get well card?

This is no dry tome destined to gather dust in leftie bookshops. Against a background of all the major outbreaks of disorder of the time, it’s a startlingly honest, funny, scream of rage from a gutter-level anarchist prepared to fight ‘by any means necessary’.
