Description
Radio Caroline was the world s most famous pirate radio station during its heyday in the 1960s and 70s, but did the thousands of people tuning in realize just what battles went on behind the scenes? Financed by respected city money men, this is a story of human endeavor and risk, international politics, business success, and financial failures. This is a story of innovation, technical challenges, changing attitudes, unimaginable battles with nature, disasters, frustrations, challenging authority, and the promotion of love and peace while, at times, harmony was far from evident behind the scenes. For one person to tell the full Radio Caroline story is impossible, but there are many who have been involved over the years whose memories and experiences bring this modern day adventure story of fighting overwhelming odds to life. Featuring many rare photographs and unpublished interviews with the "pirates" who were there, Ray Clark, once a Radio Caroline disc jockey himself, tells the captivating story of the boat that rocked!
