A Guide to Uncovering London’s Radical History

David Rosenberg’s Rebel Footprints brings to life the history of 19th to mid-20th century social movements in the capital. From the Suffragettes to the Socialists, from the Chartists to the Trade Unionists, this book invites us to step into the footprints of a diverse cast of dedicated fighters for social justice. Self-directed walks pair with narratives that seamlessly blend history, politics and geography in this radical response to conventional heritage tours.
