There will always be an England, But what sort of England?

'The old England was indeed dead or dying. Stability was gone; so was the sense of' certainty.

Passion, energy, humour, rage. The scattered outsiders I'd found on my travels, back in the Sixties, had swelled into an army.... A whole country within a country' Nik Cohn, Yes, We Have No

Yes, We Have No is loud, energetic and essential reading for all those brave enough to examine Britain's underbelly. From London to Newcastle, Hertfordshire to Cornwall, Nik Cohn travels the country seeking adventure in other England.
