All You Need is Dynamite: Acid, The Angry Brigade And The End Of The Sixties

In ‘All You Need Is Dynamite’, the latest in his Art Decades series of small format books, Dave Haslam explores the fading of Sixties dreams of peace and love, and the emergence of urban terrorist groups, particularly the Angry Brigade who carried out dozens of bomb attacks in Britain.

Haslam tracks the political campaigns, the police repression, and discovers Angry Brigade links to Manchester and the city’s underground paper Mole Express (a bible for local acid-freaks, and fans of the Weather Underground and the Edgar Broughton Band).

Picking his way through forgotten streets and demolished clubs, and the pages of underground newspapers, Haslam uncovers a heady mix of left-wing politics, psychedelic music, police raids and political violence.
