England's Dreaming is the ultimate book on punk, its progenitors, the Sex Pistols, and the moment they defined for music fans in England and the United States. Savage brings to life the sensational story of the meteoric rise and rapid implosion of the Pistols through layers of rich detail, exclusive interviews, and rare photographs. This fully revised and updated edition of the book covers the legacy of punk twenty-five years later and provides an account of the Pistols' 1996 reunion as well as a freshly updated discography and a completely new introduction.
Combining a participant’s first-hand insight with a historian’s diligence and objectivity, Savage draws on hundreds of hours of interviews to not only chronicle The Sex Pistols’ breakneck rise and fall, but also to offer a vivid portrait of the troubled, exhausted country that spawned a historically explosive group of malcontents.
