Looking at its place in the pantheon of rock films before and since, "The Making of The Great Rock ' n ' Roll Swindle" dissects the 1980 movie piece by piece. Just as director Julian Temple's film does with the "Pistol's" story. The book assesses what impact the collage style documentary made at the time, and attempts to separate myth from fact regarding the media manipulation that McLaren revelled in - of which the film may have been the ultimate example.
