More about the book
Why did Dire Straits blast out over Hiroshima, Bruce Springsteen over Bali and Madonna over all? The author was eager to learn where East meets West, how pop culture and imperialism penetrated through the world's most ancient civilisations. Then, the truths he began to uncover were more startling, subtle, and more complex than he ever anticipated.
