Poll Tax Rebellion Danny Burns (AK Press/Attack International 1992)

This is the inside story of the biggest mass movement in British history, one which at its peak involved over 17 million people. Using the voices of those involved, it describes the everyday organisation of local Anti-Poll Tax Unions. It  chronicles in detail the demonstrations and riots of March 1990, culminating in the massive battle of Trafalgar Square. It shows how the courts were blocked, the bailiffs resisted and the Poll Tax, in its original form, destroyed. The final chapter draws on this experience to present a radically new vision of change from below.
Danny Burns lives and works in Bristol. He was secretary of the Avon Federation of anti-Poll Tax Unions and co-ordinated the campaign in the South West. He was also a non-aligned member of the All Britain Federation national committee.
