Details
October Day is an extraordinary novel about an extraordinary event. It is a novel about the Battle of Cable Street, when 100,000 Londoners took to the streets on 4 October 1936 to prevent Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists marching through the Jewish East End.
First published less than three years after the event, the central chapters of October Day are a vivid eye-witness record of a famous victory in the history of British anti-fascism.
Introduced by Andy Croft.
"The genuine East End flesh and blood."
News Chronicle
The late Frank Griffin wrote a documentary on the life of a British soldier in the 1930s, which caused a national scandal. After the war he wrote for socialist and trade union papers (and the News of the World!). He also wrote a dozen thrillers and a book for teenagers.
