Over dit product

Product Information

A thrilling account of the 1911 Siege of Sidney Street--when a young Winston Churchill allowed two immigrant revolutionaries to burn to death in London's East End. On January 3, 1911, police discovered Latvian revolutionaries on the lam in London's East End. A six-hour gunfight ensued until fire consumed the building where the radicals had taken refuge. When a not-yet-prime-minister Winston Churchill arrived at the scene, he ordered officials to let the fire run its course. At least two people burned to death in the blaze, but the Latvian ringleader, Peter the Painter, remained at large. Known as the Siege of Sidney Street, the event was a nationwide sensation and ignited fierce debates about immigration, extremism, and law enforcement. This book unravels the full story of the siege, the Latvian expatriates, and London's vibrant anarchist movement in the early twentieth century.

Reviews
Whitehead has written a vivid and authoritative account of a stand-out event in the always turbulent history of London's East End. A Devilish Kind of Courage is an accomplished piece of historical research and a story wonderfully well told - combing police archives, trial records, Yiddish language anarchist papers and even the memoirs of a notorious East End criminal. It places the account of gun-toting desperadoes, émigrés from the Tsarist Russian Empire against the background of an intense debate about the large numbers of near destitute immigrants from Eastern Europe - a controversy that still resonates to this day. The book also brings to the fore the unsettling story of three women caught up in the Siege of Sidney Street and subsequent trial., A fascinating, forgotten story told in rich, evocative detail. A Devilish Kind of Courage provides a vivid portrayal of the East End of London in the early years of the twentieth century, and of the tumultuous rise and fall of the anarchist movement in Britain., A compelling history of the Siege of Sidney Street that deftly examines the event's international dimensions and vividly brings to life the underground communities it outlawed. Andrew Whitehead's argument that liberalism ultimately prevailed over media-fuelled public anxiety is a judicious and salutary reminder of the dangers of knee-jerk government legislation.
