Title: Londons Lost Battlefields
Description: Fonthill Media 2013 Paperback, 174pp. Modern London has many hidden ghosts of bloodshed and rebellion on its streets, from the infamous rebel Boudicca to the devastating but little-known Zeppelin attacks of the First World War. The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 saw murder and plunder in central London, notably where the present-day Savoy Hotel is located. Thirty two rebels, drinking wine in the cellars, were trapped by fire and falling masonry. After several agonizing days they died there. This book tells you where to find the city's battle scars, bringing to life the hidden, bloody side of our capital's history. Owner's plate on half-title page. (ISBN: 9781781552483). Very Good.
