Politics and Society in Inter-War Britain
This collection offers scholars access to the extensive Metropolitan Police files concerning government surveillance of extremist groups and civil disorder during the turbulent 1930s.
Included are police reports on people at all levels, on both local and national events, on how to deal with disturbances, and their assessment of the protest movements and militant campaigns of the period.
The materials provide valuable insight into the attitudes of the authorities toward the challenges of both left and right political factions.
