Reviews

Interesting...It is good to see attention being given to the bit players in our history. Fascinating stuff
*Independent on Sunday*

Many interesting anecdotes and sidelights emerge from the interviews...Laudably impartial
*Times Literary Supplement*

Absorbing. This interesting piece of social history is a generous gift to all the "invisible witnesses" who came before
*Independent*

Splendid, honest and engrossing
