Paul Burnley is a name that needs no introduction. He is one of the most (in)famous figures inside the skinhed circles. Mainly because of his work with No Remorse but also about the path he followed afterwards. A personality with many supporters but even more haters.
As it is natural, a guy like him would have many stories to tell. And that's exactly what Burnley decided to do by writing a book. Finally the first part of his autobiography is published and ready to order via Amazon. Here is the official advertising text :
"Brutally Honest, Honestly Brutal.
Skinhead Diaries is a record of 20th century social history when young people aligned themselves with youth cults. There were punks, rockabillies, rockers, teds, new romantics, mods, scooter boys, heavy metallers, hippies and goths. At the age of twelve Paul Burnley followed his older brother into the ranks of London skinheads. It was a path that lead to violence, under age drinking, police cells, family abandonment, hard core oi music and far right fanaticism.
Written from the viewpoint and reckless attitude of the time, the author pulls no punches. Nothing is white washed, no excuses given, just a gripping and sometimes frightening account of living through the chaos of those heady days."
No matter what anyone thinks about him, this will definitely be a very interesting read.
