Summary:	This collection explores the relevance of Joe Strummer within the continuing legacies of both punk rock and progressive politics. It is aimed at those interested in the Clash, punk culture, and the intersections between pop music and politics, on both sides of the Atlantic. Contributors represent a wide range of disciplines and their work examines all phases of Strummer's career, from his early days as ""Woody"" the busker to the whirlwind years as front man for the Clash, to the ""wilderness years"" and final days with the Mescaleros. Punk Rock Warlord offers an engaging survey of its subject.
