Focusing on the theme of civil unrest, this book examines nearly 200 years of riots in Britain, highlighting the voices of key figures involved. It explores how resistance has shaped parliamentary democracy, the welfare state, and civil liberties, while also addressing contemporary challenges to these rights. Hernon traces the evolution of protest from the Peterloo Massacre to modern anti-globalization movements, illustrating how state repression and social justice efforts have intertwined. The narrative reveals that, at times, the chaos of riots has spurred significant societal change.
