Help Needed

[Anti-Fash Researcher]

I am currently writing a book on the Anti-fascist struggle in the 80s & 90s. It's in the quite early stages at the moment. The opening chapter is about the GLC Jobs for a Change Festival in June 1984 at which the Redskins played and were attacked by a group of 50 Neo-Nazi Skinheads. This was the event which led to the formation of AFA. I need to get hold of either a copy, or a scan, of the Red Action newspaper that came out directly after this and which included an article on the event. I don't know if that would've been June, July (1984) or later than that, all depending on how regularly it came out back then. If anyone can help, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Ask at the Green Brigade, TAL or MATB forums. Someone should be able to help.

No, it was a bit before my time. I'm writing this book from a Jewish perspective really, but obviously Red Acton and AFA need to be mentioned.

Good luck with it.
What is the 'Jewish Perspective' you are going to put on things exactly? (not that you have to give all of your book away or owt)
