Burning Britain: The History of UK Punk 1980–1984 by Ian Glasper is a detailed history of the "second wave" of UK punk that emerged after the mainstream media declared the genre dead. This book explores the scene that was harder, faster, and more politically aggressive than its predecessors, born out of the grim reality of life in Thatcher's Britain. Glasper, a musician and historian, documents this era by profiling legendary bands like Discharge, The Exploited, and Angelic Upstarts, as well as more obscure groups. With hundreds of new interviews and photographs, the book is organized by region and provides a comprehensive, band-by-band account of the DIY and politically charged movement that created some of the most potent music of the time.
