What is it about?

This is a review of a book published in 2020 by Kevin Mattson about the relationship between the 'punk rock world' and the administration of President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. The review considers the many excellent aspects of this book, and one or two issues the author of the review has with Mattson's book.
