History of the City Ser. : Illusions of Gold, 1914-1945

The third volume of a ground-breaking quartet sweeps us through years of fluctuating fortunes that began with the City at an all-time high and ended with the 'Square Mile' ravaged by bombs. Kynaston takes us through the City's attempt to recover the glory days before WWI and follows its tussles with government, its links with industry and its controversial role in the politics of appeasement.
