John MacLeod – River of Fire: The Clydebank Blitz

Allander Church, Milngavie - Saturday 10th Sept - 11.00am

Includes tea/coffee.

In "River of Fire: The Clydebank Blitz", John seeks to redress the balance often seen between the bombing of Clydebank reduced to a footnote or a short paragraph in other historical works. In proportion to its size Clydebank suffered more damage than any other place in Britain during World War 2. John’s book not only tells the human story of those two terrible nights, but also explores the wider social and economic context and suggests why this very important event in the history of Britain during World War 2 was so marginalised by the media and the establishment.
