Overview

Britain's experience of conflict and dissent in the 20th century has been dramatic in its scope and impact. This book draws on the historic archive of the Press Association to recall some of the country's defining moments of revolt and war. The Suffragettes' protests, the hunger marches of the 30s, CND rallies and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the 60s all feature, along with more recent shows of national discontent with the poll-tax, the Newbury bypass, and the anti-hunting protests.
