About the Book
David has brought the streets and buildings of London alive to the real history of the city and the struggles of ordinary people. Anyone reading this will walk the streets of our city with a different view of the world, and what people can do when they act together' - Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party 'Informative and well-judged ... There is so much that is inspirational in this book' - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian Paperback of the Week 'A book of detail and passion' - Danny Dorling, Times Higher Education 'You haven't walked the streets of London unless you've understood the secret history of revolt, rebellion and poverty hidden all around you in its bricks and alleyways. Rosenberg takes you there as no other writer has done' - Paul Mason 'By offering us a guide to our radical past, Rosenberg reminds us of the strong tradition of dissent that has shaped our history and made us who we are' - Billy Bragg 'Stirs my heart's old sympathies with the idealism of the radical Left. I still urge you to let Rosenberg take you on his London journey' - Dave Hill, Guardian This brilliant book brings London's long tradition of radicalism and rebellion to life. Using walks to show how dissent led to democracy, it is a fitting testimonial to the collective struggles of Londoners of every colour and creed. I for one will be dusting down my walking shoes and taking to the streets to find out more - Frances O'Grady, General Secretary of the TUC
