Description
The People: A History of the Working Class in Britain
From 1910 to 2010, three-quarters of the population were working class, yet their story has been largely ignored until now. This vivid history is told in their own words, based on first-person accounts from servants, factory workers, miners and housewives.
Award-winning historian Selina Todd uncovers a hidden swathe of Britain's past, revealing an unexpected Britain where communities supported strikers, cinema audiences protested against Winston Churchill, and ordinary people defied convention to live extraordinary lives.
