Biographie de l'auteur
Julian Symons is primarily remembered as a master of the art of crime writing. However, in his eighty-two years he produced an enormously varied body of work. Social and military history, biography and criticism were all subjects he touched upon with remarkable success, and he held a distinguished reputation in each field. His novels were consistently highly individual and expertly crafted, raising him above other crime writers of his day. It is for this that he was awarded various prizes, and, in 1982, named as Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America - an honour accorded to only three other English writers before him: Graham Greene, Eric Ambler and Daphne Du Maurier. He succeeded Agatha Christie as the president of Britain's Detection Club, a position he held from 1976 to 1985, and in 1990 he was awarded the Cartier Diamond Dagger from the British Crime Writers for his lifetime's achievement in crime fiction. Symons died in 1994.
Présentation de l'éditeur
In May 1926, Britain was gripped by what became known as the General Strike. This downing of tools lasted for nine days, during which time it divided the people, threatened the survival of the government of the day and brought the country nearer to revolution that it perhaps had ever been. In this accurate and lively account, Symons draws on contemporary press reports, letters and oral sources, along with TUC records to provide an invaluable historical account of the remarkable event and the people and places that featured so prominently in it.

Paperback. 259 pages. Text in English. As new. An account of the nine days in 1926 when Britain went on strike. The General Strike threatened the survival of parliamentary government and brought the country nearer to revolution than it had ever been, before or since. The author was given access by the Trade Union Council to previously unexamined records in their archives and he says that this mateiral contains the heart of the matter from the trade union standpoint. However, the book is carefully balanced to give weight also to those involved in government and to include extracts from hundreds of letters from people who described their personal experiences during a strike which saw undergraduates working in the ports, volunteers driving buses and trains and when the government ran its own newspaper under the unofficial editorship of Winston Churchill. 777g.
