520    "It began with a handful of East Berlin teens who heard 
       the Sex Pistols on a British military radio broadcast to 
       troops in West Berlin, and it ended with the collapse of 
       the East German dictatorship. Punk rock was a life-
       changing discovery. The buzz-saw guitars, the messed-up 
       clothing and hair, the rejection of society and the DIY 
       approach to building a new one: in their gray surroundings,
       where everyone's future was preordained by some communist 
       apparatchik, punk represented a revolutionary philosophy--
       quite literally, as it turned out. But as these young kids
       tried to form bands and became more visible, security 
       forces--including the dreaded secret police, the Stasi--
       targeted them. They were spied on by friends and even 
       members of their own families; they were expelled from 
       schools and fired from jobs; they were beaten by police 
       and imprisoned. Instead of conforming, the punks fought 
       back, playing an indispensable role in the underground 
       movements that helped bring down the Berlin Wall. This 
       secret history of East German punk rock is not just about 
       the music; it is a story of extraordinary bravery in the 
       face of one of the most oppressive regimes in history. 
       Rollicking, cinematic, deeply researched, highly readable,
       and thrillingly topical, Burning Down the Haus brings to 
       life the young men and women who successfully fought 
       authoritarianism three chords at a time--and is a fiery 
       testament to the irrepressible spirit of revolution." --
