The truth about SKINHEADS,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spirit of '69: A Skinhead Bible (Paperback)
For close to a decade, many americans,and other races, have shunned the word "Skinhead" as being a foul and racist word. This book proves that theory wrong. Skinheads came about in 1969 in england. They were a youth cult. This book clearly describes all of the important facts of skinhead history. From Traditional skinheads, to S.H.A.R.P.S (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice), and lets not leave out the most stereotypical, Neo-Nazi (BONEHEADS) Skinheads. From the Mods to Rude Boys. From the music they listen to to the style of dress. It even describes the type of alcohol they like. Most of all it explains the truth about Skinheads that so many people don't know or don't want to know. This book must be read by all people. It could change so many peoples minds. But I'll warn everybody, the second chapter is kind of boring. Oi Oi And happy reading.

A great unbiased account of a severly misunderstood culture,
By Guinness Skin (LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spirit of '69: A Skinhead Bible (Paperback)
Spirit of 69 is a must for any skinhead (Trad or SHARP, even a nazi, maybe they'll learn their roots, or even the casual reader) It goes so in depth on the entire skinhead culture. It's so unbiased that it almost makes me mad. Marshall captures the mood and feel of the culture back in the sixties, all the way up to the rebirth in the nineties. The only flaw that I saw in the book is how deep he goes into the music in a skinhead's life. .... But still, a must. The only thing that I didn't like is that he portrays the nazi skinheads in a fair light, something that I believe they don't deserve. Anyway, have a good read.

This review is from: Spirit of '69: A Skinhead Bible (Paperback)
This truly is the best book i've seen out there that tells the un-biased truth on skinheads. it cuts right to the chase and doesn't waste time with any right wing vs. left wing, bonehead vs. SHARP bs...this is about skins, true and trad. where they're from, how they got to where they are, and what makes them who they are. fasion, music, attitude, and evolution are all in this book. my only complaint is that it can be a little slow going at times, but hey! that's a price to be paid to learn historical truth about a very important and very strong cult. God bless George Marshall. Oi!
