Description
Tom Harper's Broken Yard: The Fall of the Metropolitan Police is a gripping and insightful exploration of the Metropolitan Police Service's troubled history.
From the 1970s to the present day, the Met has faced numerous challenges, including allegations of corruption, racism, and police brutality. Harper's book delves into the key events and scandals that have shaped the force, including the 1981 Brixton riots and the 2011 riots in Tottenham.
Through meticulous research and a nuanced understanding of the complex social and political context in which the Met operates, Harper sheds light on the ways in which the police service has struggled to adapt to changing times and address the deep-seated issues that have plagued it for decades.
