Published 1 September 2005
Bristol has much to be proud of, having prospered as a city and a major port for over six hundred years. But its past includes more than a fair share of cruel, inglorious and scandalous episodes that are generally little referred to. Included in this book are slaving, persecution, greed and incompetence, and riot, giving some amazing stories from Bristolian Derek Robinson.
