Printing Details
First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22.5 × 13cm, 262pp
Since its first publication, Bomb Culture has achieved legendary status as a powerful, informative, and spirited exploration of 1960s alternative society and counterculture. 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.
Nuttall 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.
Condition
The book itself is in very good condition. The dustwrapper has a few small marginal tears and a small stain at the head of the spine but has not been price-clipped and is now within a protective sleeve.
