Liverpool - John Belchem

Uncontrollable, anarchic, and alienated from mainstream England, the Liverpool of popular British imagination is a hotbed of radicalism and creativity. This reputation is richly deserved, as the city has played host to a surprising number of radical events and innovations over the past century. Starting its chronicle in 1911, Liverpool: City of Radicals surveys the role of Liverpool in a wide range of fields, examining events including the near revolution of the Liverpool Transport Strike. Exploring one hundred years of art, music, politics, football, architecture, and theater, the bookconcludes with a look at the city today and what role radicalism will continue to play in its future.
