The Story of Crass by George Berger is the first comprehensive history of the anarcho-punk band and revolutionary collective Crass. Founded by radical thinkers and artists including Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon that took the DIY ethos of punk to an extreme. The book details their contempt for conventional fame, their commune lifestyle, and their creation of a self-sustaining network for their records, films, and magazines. It also covers their situationist pranks, which garnered international media attention. The narrative is a collaboration with the band members themselves, who provide access to previously unseen photos and interviews, offering an intimate account of their exploration of—and eventual exhaustion with—the possibilities of punk-led anarchy.
