An extreme book, unreasonable but not irrational.

Nuttall's confessional account of the period investigates the sources of its radical art, music, and protest movements as well as the beliefs, anxieties, and conceits of its key agitators, including his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuttall argued that a tangible psychic dread of nuclear holocaust pervaded both high and low cultures, determining their attitude and content, much as the horrors of World War I had nourished the tactics and aesthetics of Dadaism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccompanying the original text is a new foreword by author Iain Sinclair, who was closely acquainted with Jeff Nuttall and participated in the turbulent underground culture described in \u003ci\u003eBomb Culture\u003c\/i\u003e. This anniversary edition is rounded out with an afterword by writer Maria Fusco and a contextual introduction by the book's editors which includes photographs and images of Nuttall's distinctive artwork as well as further archival materials.\u003c\/p\u003eJeff Nuttall (8 July 1933–4 January 2004) was an English poet, publisher, actor, painter, sculptor, jazz trumpeter, anarchist sympathizer and social commentator who was a key part of the British 1960s counterculture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDouglas Field is Senior Lecturer in Twentieth-Century American Literature at the University of Manchester and a frequent contributor to the Times Literary Supplement.
