Synopsis

The Breakdance Revolution tells the dynamic story of breaking, from its emergence in the 1970s Bronx as a form of street dance born from socio-economic hardship and vibrant hip-hop culture, to its global spread and ultimate recognition as an Olympic sport. This book traces the dance's evolution, exploring how media representation in the 1980s significantly shaped its identity and how competitions evolved from informal street battles to formal athletic events. It is a cultural phenomenon that balances preserving its improvisational roots with adapting to mainstream acceptance.

 
The book uniquely presents this history in three distinct sections. It begins by contextualizing breaking’s Bronx origins, then examines its spread via music videos and films, and finally analyzes the debates surrounding its Olympic inclusion. Through archival research and interviews, the book highlights the tensions between street credibility and commercial appeal, artistic expression and athletic performance. It aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing breaking today, making it valuable for anyone interested in sports history, dance, and the cultural evolution of popular culture.

    Winner of the Best Non-Fiction by a Parliamentarian category at the Parliamentary Book Awards 2023
    With a Foreword by Lord Hague of Richmond
    The Intelligence Corps is one of the smallest and most secretive elements of the British Army. It has existed in various guises since the early twentieth century, but it was only formally constituted in July 1940. In this book, Michael Ashcroft tells the astonishing stories of some of its most courageous and ingenious figures, who have operated all over the world from the First World War to the present day.
    Whether carrying out surveillance work on the street, monitoring and analysing communications, working on overseas stakeouts, receiving classified information from a well-placed contact or interrogating the enemy in the heat of war, a hugely diverse range of people have served in the Corps, often supplementing their individual professional skills with original thinking and leadership in the name of the Crown. This book pays tribute to them and shows why, in the words of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, 'No war can be conducted successfully without early and good intelligence.'
