Description
The Riots: The Police Fight for the Streets During the UK's Deadly 2011 Riots In August 2011, a wave of violence swept across the UK, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in its wake. The police were caught off guard, and the disorder spread rapidly, with mobs going on the rampage and terrifying scenes of destruction unfolding. This is the untold story of what police officers on the front line experienced during those feverish days and nights as they battled to regain control of the streets. Drawn from interviews with dozens of officers who have never spoken publicly before, this book is a terrifying account of how the disorder spread and how the police fought back. It features stories of astonishing bravery from the lethal frontline of British policing, and provides a unique insight into the events of that summer.
