by Gavin Weightman

Published 15 April 1996
Tied to a six-part Channel 4 series, this book examines the great changes that have taken place in Britain's emergency services over the past 20 years, and recounts famous disasters such as the Kings Cross Underground fire and the Clapham Junction crash. It explores the methods used by the emergency services, and how they have developed, and includes interviews with some of those involved.
