Pop Music, the Swastika & the Third Reich

From Lennon and Bowie to punk and beyond, some of rock ’n’ roll’s biggest icons have toyed with the aesthetics, hysteria, and even ideology of Nazism. Whether through shock, ignorance, or misguided attempts at provocation, pop music has explored these associations in ways rarely seen in other art forms. In his meticulously researched and sensitively told This Ain’t Rock ’n’ Roll, best-selling author Daniel Rachel examines these often-overlooked actions in conversation with Rosie Goldsmith.
