Covering the country region by region, Ian Glasper profiles not only big names like Vice Squad, Anti Pasti, and The Defects, but also the more obscure bands of the era such as Xtract, Skroteez, and Soldier Dolls.

Review:

“[A] chatty, engaging history [that] follows the regional lines along which UK punk’s 'second wave' scene divided.” —Guardian

"For those with a burning desire to dig deeper than The Clash and Sex Pistols to discover below-the-radar groups from the original British punk rock scene, then Burning Britain is your new Bible." —John B. Moore, New Noise Magazine
