Description
Wyn Thomas examines the tumultuous period in Welsh history from 1963 to 1969, when militant activism reached its peak. A key factor in this surge was the flooding of Cwm Tryweryn, which sparked widespread outrage and protests. The failure of Plaid Cymru to prevent the valley's destruction through constitutional means is also revealed as a crucial contributor to the violence. Thomas sheds light on the complex factors that drove this period of unrest, providing a nuanced understanding of the events that shaped modern Wales. Through his analysis, Thomas provides a thought-provoking exploration of the tensions between nationalism and militancy in 20th-century Wales.
