Produktinformationen "Clouds Of Glory"
Hoxton today is one of the most fashionable parts of inner London yet before the Blitz it was the capital's most notorious slum area. It was London's busiest market for stolen goods the centre of the pickpocket trade home to a razor gang that terrorised racecourses all over southern England. Its main thoroughfare Hoxton Street was known also as the roughest street in Britain. But among the people born there in its heyday was Bryan Magee journalist academic philosopher radio and television broadcaster and Member of Parliament. For him it was home for his first nine years until he became an evacuee on the outbreak of war. In this moving and beautifully written book he recalls the vanished world of his childhood and brings it to life again in all its drama and surprise.
