What does it mean to be English? What does it mean to be British? Is the cross of St George a proud symbol of a great tradition, or the badge of a neo-Nazi?
In a world where British citizens can lay bombs to kill their countrymen, where religious fundamentalism is on the increase and where the British National Party are somehow part of the democratic process, what does patriotism actually mean?
This book is legendary folk-rocker Billy Bragg's urgent, eloquent and passionate response to the events of 7 July 2005, when four bombs tore through a busy morning in London. The Progressive Patriot is a book we all need to read. It pulls no punches in its insights and its radical vision offers a positive hope for a country teetering on the brink of catastrophe.
