London in the Twentieth Century: A City and Its People

by JerryWhite (Author)

Synopsis

This is the story of the social and political history of London in the 20th century. The book presents London as a city of sustained and sometimes delicately balanced paradoxes, and of diverse geography and peoples. From its fin de siecle imperial splendour, amidst pockets of appalling poverty, to its revitalized swinging status, tainted by racial tension today, London is shown as a truly global city.
